The Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art, Salisbury University, announces its Festival of Delmarvalous Traditions: May 16, 2015, 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Come visit the Ward Museum on Saturday, May 16 to join in a celebration of the light-hearted, and sometimes competitive, side of local traditions! Inspired by the upcoming exhibit, “The Art of Sporting and Playing,” (May 15 – September 20, 2015) the Ward Museum is bringing together the best of regional carnivals and festivals in this one-of-a-kind event.
Representatives from communities and places featured in the new exhibit will be at the museum with samples of their traditions, including unique food, games, and other family-friendly activities. Experience the Chincoteague Pony Drill Team, vote in a Maryland crab soup cook-off, watch a Smith Islander make Maryland’s State Dessert, the Smith Island Cake, and more!
In the spirit of the Museum’s spring exhibit “The Tradition and Sport of Falconry,” live raptors will also be on hand from 10 a.m. – noon, and children and teens will have the opportunity to create art based on these live models.
Join in the festivities with face painting, food, games, and fun! This festival is free to the public.
