Delaware Seashore State Park 5th Annual Paddlefest

Delaware Seashore State Park's Paddlefest began in 2017, planned as a special one-time event, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the state park. That first year was SO. MUCH. FUN. 

​

Park staff and paddlefest participants knew Paddlefest needed to be an annual event. In 2019, the growing popularity of the event led to the inaugural Paddlefest After-Party, complete with food, beverages, live music, and a variety of exhibitors and vendors. Generous sponsors made this party possible and also provided t-shirts and goody bags for all participants!

What's new in 2021?
You asked, we listened, and started making plans back in September 2019.  COVID-19 however, brought those plans to a screeching halt. Due to the uncertainty of what life will be like in August 2021, and the extensive planning that Paddlefest requires, we've decided to downgrade the Paddlefest After-Party to just a few food trucks and a picnic area.  But what matters most is that we can still paddle together and there are still improvements to look forward to:

New educational stops along the course (and if the tides allow, the course route could be new!)
