Southern Delaware Fun Heats Up in April!
|
Southern Delaware is a great place to visit any time of year, but April is when we really start gearing up for the high season with events and activities and warm sunshine and sparkly seas and a whole lot more! We've highlighted some April events below and you'll find even more in our calendar. Check out our website to find tours and activities for the whole family (including your furry friends!) Culinary Coast™ restaurants that'll have you licking your chops and your plates, museums and historical sites, arts and entertainment, and tax-free shopping, just to name a few possibilities.
And GARDENS! Boy, do we have gardens. So many bloomin' events, attractions, markets, and more that if you're a gardener or garden lover, this is where you need to be this month (and the rest of the year, for that matter.) We even have a Garden Getaways page just for you, to help you plan your next visit. (Hint: Don't miss the Tulip Celebration in Lewes this month. It's gorgeous…)
Attention cyclists and paddlers! Be sure to check out our Bike & Stay and Paddle & Stay programs. When you book a stay at a participating hotel, you'll gain exclusive access to deals from local partners via our SouthDel Sidekick app. See what our outfitters, restaurants, breweries and retailers, and more are offering!
As always, to keep up with all the latest and get a peek at all the fun happening in Southern Delaware, like us on Facebook or follow us on X (Twitter) or Instagram (and our delectable Culinary Coast™ Instagram too!) and you'll get fresh content, updates, and activities and events info every day! We hope to see you soon.
Cheers!
Scott, Tina, Lana & Chris
