Things to Do This Weekend at Delaware & Maryland Beaches
One of the busiest festival weekends of the year is upon us over the next few days at and near the Delaware and Maryland beaches. To say there's no shortage of fun things to see and do this weekend is definitely an understatement, as you'll see in this week's edition of the Oldfather Group's Weekender Blog.
The weekend is headlined by one of the top festivals in Delaware over in tiny Bridgeville, as well as a host of events near the beach and many others throughout the First State, as well as the cities of Annapolis, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia.
We've got so much to talk about that we're going to get right to it. Have a fantastic weekend everyone!
