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!
