Even if you’re someone who doesn’t like to think about Christmas until Thanksgiving is over, it’s worth putting your reservations aside to plan ahead for some holiday events that are coming up in Delaware. One of the biggest and brightest holiday festivals opens up the weekend before Thanksgiving, and runs each day until New Years’ Eve. If you’re looking for a fun way to get your whole family in the holiday spirit, attend the Lewes Winter Wonderfest for a drive through light show, skating rink, and more!

In November, hundreds of volunteers head to Cape Henlopen State Park to set up the incredible Winter Wonderfest.
