What’s Happening?…Events…Activities…Specials…Delaware Beaches…Ocean City, MD…Delray Beach, FL…
Throughout the, “Second Season”, at the Delaware Beaches and Ocean City, Maryland there are multitude of events, fairs, festivals, you name it. Too many to list; I usually list the ones that interest me the most. At this time of the year, is definitely much quieter but there are still some things going on.
In Delray Beach, Florida it is a different story. The season is getting hotter and hotter. And, thank God, because we have been here for a few days and it is pretty chilly. I will be mentioning a few of the events going on in this quaint Village by the Sea, as well.
So, here they go:
