Welcome to Week 9 of The Cape Current, your guide to everything cool, curious, and community-minded in coastal Delaware.
The fireworks have fizzled. The grill has gone cold. Which can only mean one thing – Halloween season is stirring. This week, Kadet Kelly kicks off spooky season extra early.
We’re also heading to Harrington for a behind-the-scenes look at the Delaware State Fair. Now in its 106th year, the fair still delivers giant pumpkins, fried chicken, and TikTok-famous carnies. It’s small-town Americana with a little weirdness, a lot of heart, and more duct tape crafts than you’d think.
Chef Hari Cameron takes us out to the ballgame for a perfect summer day at Citizens Bank Park, where the Phillies came through with a big win and the food told a story all its own. From roast pork and wooder ice to Cooper Sharp and Old Bay, it’s a culinary love letter to Philadelphia.
You’ll also find award-winning wine lists in The Current Bite, a brewery spotlight in Brewsworthy, and music picks from blues to grunge in Live & Local. We round it out with a guide to our favorite city parks and a sky-high view of the coast from Current Crush Elliot MacGuire.
Summer’s not over; the good stuff’s just getting started.
