Delaware fun? Festivals, breweries, National Dog Day top the list

Well, somehow it’s late August already.

But summer is NOT over and there’s still plenty of fun to pack in between now and Monday morning, if that’s what you want to do.

Saturday’s weather looks promising, with a high of 89 predicted near Wilmington and low chance of rain. It will be cooler at the beaches and it’s still the official season so you won’t be bored.

Sunday will be a bit cooler, but still ideal for grilling, outdoor fun or just getting those steps in.

Try a new brewery, or challenge this list

With 29 craft breweries operating across Delaware, it’s sometimes hard to wrap your head (or lips) around which ones are best to visit.

But Ryan Cormier did a deep diver into Untappd app rankings to see what beer lovers sipping in the First State think.

Plan your own strategy for trying them all over time, or seek out a new one to cool off and judge for yourself.

If you have bike and want to check out some of the beach-adjacent spots, we also have this nifty guide.

Hit the beaches for fun in sun

But there are still two glorious weekends of “summer” left, and plenty of time to experience everything the Delaware beaches have to offer once more.

Delaware Online/The News Journal has provided this weekend guide to the Delaware beaches all summer long. For the second-to-last time, read on to find out all you need to know if you’ll be in Lewes, Rehoboth, Dewey, Bethany or Fenwick this weekend.
