7th Annual Bug & Bud Festival


Ladybug Parade, Ladybug Paddle Boats & MUCH MORE!

On, Saturday, April 24, 2010, from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., the City of Milford Parks and Recreation Department & Downtown Milford, Inc. invite you to join the fun at the 7th Annual Bug & Bud Festival, presented by festival title sponsor Wilmington Trust, along the Mispillion RiverWalk in historic downtown Milford, Delaware.

Festival highlights are the traditional ladybug walking parade with prizes for best “ladybug” and “tree” costumes, diverse musical entertainment throughout the day such as Soul Selby, the Nanticoke Indian Association and the fifty-member Milford Community Band as well as more than 100 plus arts and crafts vendors, a Kid’s Korner, remote control boats, a youth bass fishing contest, an art show, and “green-themed” and nature related hands-on activities including seedling tree giveaways – just to name a few!

Back by popular demand are “ladybug decorated” paddle boat rides and the FREE 5:00 p.m. jazz concert. This year’s concert performers are the highly acclaimed jazz group Straight Off The Top sponsored by Citizens Bank.

RAIN or SHINE and FREE of charge, you won’t want to miss this “over-the-top” outdoor festival! Come listen to some great music, eat some great food, cruise in a lady bug paddle boat, don your lady bug costume for the parade, shop local and most important of all - “think ladybug!”
