Lewes
truly is a town with something for everyone. Explore the
charming local shops, restaurants, and historic buildings of
Downtown Lewes. Step back through time and discover the vibrant
history of Delaware at one of Lewes's museums, like the
Zwaanendael Museum. Discover the restaurants and shops of
Fisherman's Wharf along the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal. Seek out
iconic lighthouses, like Overfalls Lighthouse, the Delaware
Breakwater East End Light or the Harbor of Refuge Light.
And don't miss out on any of
Lewes's exciting annual events, activities, and festivals, many of which are long-held local
traditions. Residents and visitors alike enjoy the Doo-dah
Parade, Boast the Coast, an Old Fashioned Fourth of July
Celebration and Boat Parade, Coast Day, Seafaring Days, First
Thursdays, summer concerts, fishing tournaments, the Christmas
Parade, and a popular Antiques Show-to name but a few. The
Historic Lewes Farmers Market, a community-based, producer-only
market open May through October, has become an extraordinarily
popular destination for shoppers since its opening in 2006.
