The timing of the tulip’s appearance is an inexact science and to that end, the committees in charge of the annual Tulip Festival in Lewes, Delaware, decided to expand the time frame of the event to enhance the chances that the tulips will be visible during the event. The event dates span two week-ends, April 9th to April 18th, with special events planned on the first week-end.
Having said that and having visited Lewes, yesterday, Thursday….it might be better to come to see the tulips next week. It is what it is, mother nature does it again. But, if you like to have fun at the beach, by no means come on down.
This is the 6th Annual Tulip Festival. The Lewes Chamber of Commerce continues to partnership with Lewes in Bloom, The Lewes Historical Society, Lewes Parks & Recreation, the Zwaanendael Museum and the Historic Lewes Farmers Market to present this annual celebration.
For a schedule of events, please visit http://www.leweschamber.com. The Lewes Chamber of Commerce is located at 120 Kings Highway, in Lewes. Tel. 302-645-8073 They also have a Facebook Page.
Have a great week-end!

 City Dock A little historical trivia never hurts….Since Lewes was the earliest settlement in the State, and Delaware was the first state to ratify the Constitution, the town is known as The First Town in The First State. Lewes is named after the town of Lewes in England, located in Sussex, from which Sussex County, Delaware takes its name. Lewes, Sussex, England, also has the same seal.
The history of Lewes dates to 1631. Many of the houses in the Historical District and around Lewes have historical designation. One such house and one everyone should stop by is the Fisher-Martin House where the Lewes Chamber of Commerce is located. This house is circa 1730. Plenty of information can be found at the Chamber, so if you are just visiting, please stopy by. Location? 120 Kings Highway, Lewes, DE 19958 Website? http://www.leweschamber.com Tel. 302-645-8412
 
It has been a long time since Lewes rolled up its streets after the summer season until the next year. This town is a vibrant community with plenty of restaurants, unique boutiques, museums….and so walkable. As you stroll Lewes check some of the homes with beautiful architecture.

Mike DiPaolo, Executive Director of the Lewes Historical Society, has been working with the other members of the Car show committee for the past 10 years. “Our historic buildings will be open free of charge as part of the show because folks coming to the show as well as car collectors have interest in things historic.” he said.
