St. Patrick’s Day festivities continue this weekend with more green-themed events in Ocean City, Georgetown, and Milford. Wear your favorite green outfit and enjoy a few days in or near the coastal area.
Warmer temperatures are already starting to factor into daily forecasts and will continue to rise further in the coming days and weeks. This weekend is a great chance to enjoy the early spring weather while attending some of the area’s best annual events and gatherings.
I have some great things to share with you this week. Keep reading to find out about Oldfather Group’s top events happening on and near beaches in Delaware and Maryland over the long weekend of March 15-17.
