MILFORD, Del. \u2013 The 22nd Annual Bud and Bug Festival will take over Milford on Saturday, April 26, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., celebrating the arrival of spring with flowers, bugs, and outdoor fun.
The event, organized by Downtown Milford Inc., promises a day full of entertainment, vendors, food trucks, and a People and Pet Parade.\u00a0 This year, the festival will focus on promoting Milford as a bicycle-friendly city, encouraging participants to decorate their bikes with spring-themed decorations.
A fun costume contest will also be part of the festivities, with prizes for the best “bug,” “flower,” and “tree” costumes for both children and adults.
The parade, led by Grand Marshal Charles Gray, will start at the end of Washington Street and continue down Walnut Street to the library amphitheater, where winners will be awarded prizes. Highlights of the festival include live performances, such as a Dixieland Band at 10 a.m. and The Fuzaholics at 3 p.m. Festival-goers can also enjoy a Kid\u2019s Zone with bounce houses, 125 craft vendors, and 15 food trucks.
A raffle incentive encourages shopping at downtown businesses from Friday, April 25, at 4 p.m. to Saturday, April 26, at 3 p.m. The event will take place rain or shine, and volunteers are still needed to help with the festivities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
