Nanticoke Riverfest

Location: Seaford

July 8,2010 - July 10,2010

This year's theme "Sweet 16," celebrates the longevity of the festival and adds a 1950's flare. The festival will kick off on Thursday, July 8 with the carnival, opening ceremonies, and music in and around Gateway Park. Friday night will feature the popular Little and Junior Miss Riverfest Pageant and featured entertainment by The Funsters.

On Saturday, the Nanticoke Riverfest will once again feature the annual float-in, canoe and kayak races and duck dash for the water lovers and shopping, entertainment and giveaways for the casual visitor. Children can enjoy their day playing carnival games or riding the rides, competing in a free youth fishing tournament with a host of trophies and prizes, a magic show by Magic John, dunking the local celebrities in the dunking booth, competing in the pageant, or just floating down the river.

Finally, we'll be partnering with the Seaford Historical Society and Southern Delaware Tourism to showcase the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail, America's first national water trail.
