Memorial Day Weekend

What to do, where to go, and how to summer like a local.

Welcome to Week 2 of The Cape Current, your go-to for everything cool, creative, and community-driven in Coastal Delaware.

It’s Memorial Day Weekend, the official kickoff to summer, and we’re celebrating with 101 Things to Do This Summer, a reader-powered guide full of beach rituals, hidden gems, and fresh ways to explore the Cape. Whether you’re into sunrise swims, live music, classic boardwalk snacks, or quiet trails, this list has you covered.

In Live & Local, we’ve mapped out your weekend highlights, including a performance by the U.S. Navy Band Country Current. The Current Canvas stops by the West Side Creative Market, where artists, makers, and food vendors come together for good vibes and local flavor.

Live Like a Local by Nancy Sakaduski rounds up the top spots to catch a summer show, from high-energy musicals to magic and family-friendly performances. And in The Current Bite, Chef Hari Cameron takes you out on the water with Nancy James Oyster Co., where two local innovators are rethinking oyster farming in the Inland Bays.

Wherever you find yourself this weekend, from the bay to the boardwalk, we’re glad you brought us along.
