Are you ready to celebrate the summer's sweetest fruit? At the upcoming Watermelon Festival, you can eat your fill of the delicious pink treat. But there will also be lots of other foods to enjoy including burgers and “dogs” benefitting the Delmar Lions Club and BBQ Chicken benefitting the Delmar VFW. You’ll get FREE Wright’s Corn on the Cob with each meal and FREE watermelon slices (because, well… It’s a festival of w-a-t-e-r-m-e-l-o-n!). Drinks and snow-cones will be available as well benefitting Northwestern’s Relay for Life team. (We hope there’s watermelon-flavored cones!) And of course …. Wright’s homemade ice cream. (Even if there's not watermelon flavor, you'll love the Maggie Moo mixture!)

Your belly will certainly be full, so to relax, there will be live music including the Barren Creek Band and the Hurlock Wesleyan Praise Team. The Great Delmarva Chevy Car Show will be parked and ready to view. You’ll be able to check out the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Department drug dog demonstration (woof!) as well. Horseback and firetruck rides, face painting, bounce house, game tent and more activities for the kiddos! Watermelon bowling anyone? (This could be messy. Count us in!)

And of course there will be the Little Miss Watermelon Princess Contest, the Watermelon Eating Contest and the ever-so-popular (and entertaining!) Watermelon Seed Spitting Contest.
