Delaware Winter Festivals and Events
Delaware’s historic towns and charming nooks come alive during the holiday season, thanks to Yuletide tours, dazzling light displays, stage classics, festive parades and other events that capture the joy and spirit celebrated each year in the First State. Winter festivals and events in Delaware take place from early November through the first week of January and include holiday-themed exhibits at museums like Hagley Museum and Winterthur Museum, Garden, and Library; house tours in historic Lewes and Odessa; and parades in towns both large (Wilmington) and small (Milton). And while Delaware’s beaches are known as the capital of summer fun, the town of Rehoboth offers one of the state’s most iconic symbols of the season when it lights its 30-foot tree.

Somehow, from this strange compost heap of little sounds and quiet thoughts, songs started to rise up like steam from the ground. The first performance of these songs took place in January of 2009, in Staten…

On February 2, 1959, Buddy Holly performed his last show at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa. Also appearing on the bill that night were Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. It would also be their last show; as later that evening, fate intervened. Buddy had decided to charter a small four passenger Beechcraft Bonanza in order to fly ahead to Fargo, North Dakota in order to get good night’s sleep, but sadly the plane only made it a few a miles from the airport. A rock and roll cataclysm.…
