August Awesomeness in Southern Delaware

There is SO MUCH going on in Southern Delaware in August that the many highlights listed below barely scratch the surface of this month’s awesomeness. You’ll definitely want to check out our August calendar of events when planning your visit!

Are you an oyster lover? Well, you’re going to love 2025’s Inland Bays Oyster Week events. See them all below! Arts and Entertainment are definitely no slouches this month. We’ve listed many A&E events below but there are lots more where they come from! Our many theaters, concert venues, bandstand performances, art leagues, galleries, and arts events will keep you entertained throughout the month.

And, if you’re a cyclist or a paddler, you’ll want to check out our Bike and Stay or Paddle and Stay packages. Travel our land and water trails and unlock your inner adventurer and some great deals at the same time!

Finally, it’s time to start planning your Southern Delaware fall road trips. Our many events and festivals plus crisp sea breezes and tax-free shopping make for great visits! Explore the unique boutiques in our charming seaside and riverside towns, our many outlets along Route 1, or the fabulous antique and vintage shops that Southern Delaware is known for. Make sure to include some history and arts in your visit – take a look at our Fall for History and Arts Around Our Towns pages to see many highlighted events!

Of course, it goes without saying that dining is an extremely popular year-round activity here thanks to our local farmers, fishermen, and the incredibly talented chefs of our Culinary Coast™.

To keep up with all the latest, like us on Facebook or follow us on X or Instagram. And check out our Culinary Coast™ on Instagram as well!

Cheers!
