Spend an old-fashioned 4th of July weekend in Lewes, Delaware. Check the full calendar at this Events Page.
Join the locals tonight for "First Thursday" on Second Street between 6 and 8 pm. The shops are open late and there's entertainment in the street. I'll be there looking for something special to wear this weekend, will you?
On Saturday, don't miss the Historic Lewes Farmers Market on 3rd and Shipcarpenter Streets. You can find everything from great vegetables, fresh cut flowers, locally grown lamb and fresh local eggs. This is a must for good food and camaraderie.
Then, also on Saturday, head down the street and enjoy the annual Sidewalk Art and Artisans Show at St. Peter's Episcopal Church and surrounding streets.
On Sunday, JULY 4th, enjoy the games along 2nd Street for kids of all ages and the Boat Parade on the Lewes Canal around 2 pm. End the day with the "Doo-Dah Parade", a one-of-a-kind event not to be missed.
Of course, Lewes Beach is a great place to relax with the family - the weather forecast is Sunny and warm! Happy 4th of July!
