6 Wilmington Delaware Outdoor Events to Look Forward to This Spring and Summer

Hollywood Kyle March 21st

With the warm weather right around the corner, we’re all eager to get outside again and enjoy outdoor events. Delaware Reddit chimed in with the Delaware events they’re looking forward to. WJBR will be present and has been present at these events for years! Along with outdoor dining, live music, breweries and wineries opening up, there’s also plenty of outdoor events to look forward to this Spring and Summer. Mark your calendars for these special events and plan to attend them!

Wilmington is constantly growing and hosting new events, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see more start popping up. These events are staples of Delaware and are really just a glimpse of the special things that go on in the small state.

  • Point to Point at Winterthur

    Hosted on Sunday May 7th, 2023 at Winterthur. Each year crowds gather to tailgate the Point to Point steeplechase, along with pageantry and fun for the whole family. This event is extremely popular within the Northern Delaware area especially. This event has been going on for 45 years.

  • Ladybug Festival

  • Greek Festival

    Hosted June 5th thru June 10th in Wilmington, Delaware.

There’s even a fun zone for kids and families, as well as an open market for arts and crafts by vendors.
