Working Waterman Weekend

May 2, 2020
9:00 AM - 1:00 PM

Celebrate the official season opening of the Deltaville Maritime Museum and it's Working Waterman's Heritage!  Our location on the Rapphannock River and Chesapeake Bay has allowed boating and fishing to be a way of life.  Come see the allure of the Rivah!

Friday night kicks off with a Shrimp and BBQ Dinner & Dance (5pm-9pm). Shake off the winter by dancing alfresco under a wooden pavilion.  

Saturday begins with the Holly Point Farmer's Market (9am-1pm). Stroll through the vendors selling locally grown produce, honey, plants, artisan cheeses and breads, grass-fed meats, hand-crafted clothing, jewelry, soaps, candles and art.  

The museum will be open with boating and bay exhibits.  On the pier, come aboard the antique F. D. Crockett buyboat and Explorer (Capt. John Smith reproduction). Learn about oyster tonging and crabbing, take a free boat ride on Jackson Creek. A car show and model trains display add to the entertainment.

Holly Point Nature Park has a kayak launch, walking trails, picnic tables and children's garden.  Bring a picnic or catch a bite at the Tea House.

Saturday night is the "Groovin' in the Park" waterfront concert (6pm-8pm). Bring your lawn chair and cooler, and listen to the music by the water.
