Yes, Delaware, some years winter can seem endless. Spring is always a welcome sight on the horizon! But there’s no denying that one of the best parts of spring isn’t just the sunshine, it’s the flowers. The colors, the smells, the buds opening up…Delaware in spring is absolutely gorgeous! Fortunately, once that sun starts shining, we’re only a few weeks away from one of the best spring festivals in Delaware: Mt. Cuba’s Wildflower Celebration.

Each year, Mt. Cuba Center's Wildflower Weekend Celebration is the unofficial start to spring in Delaware.
