It's the most wonderful time of the year.... We know that phrase is usually reserved for a line from one of our favorite Christmas carols, but in this case, we think it applies to more than just the month of December. In our opinion, October, November and December should all three be included in that equation! Think about it... at what other time during the 12 months a year do you have so many back to back holidays and celebratory occasions? You are literally spending quality time with family and friends, focussing on the things you're grateful for and eating yummy food for three months straight. October sets the stage for all of the festivities we enjoy in the following months. Prepping you for Thanksgiving, October opens us up to pumpkins, cooler weather and enjoying the simpler things in life - like hay rides and corn mazes. If you're like us, you want to optimize your Fall season by taking advantage of every possible opportunity to indulge in the events that go hand in hand with this time of year.

We decided to do a little leg work for you and share with you some dates and information of upcoming events that will help you to really appreciate all the pleasantries that autumn has to offer. Mark your calendars, folks! These special moments are for the month of October and even spill over into November, so you're sure to at least make one of them and be able to envelope yourself in all of the joy that starts to trickle in with the exciting shift in seasons!


OCTOBER 13-16: REHOBOTH BEACH JAZZ FESTIVAL
Nothing like a little summertime jazz to ease us into the cooler months. It's a nice transition that you can expect at the Performing Arts Center in Cape Henlopen High School as well as the Rudder and Baycenter in Dewey Beach. It's an entire weekend dedicated to celebrating music and its influence on our world. Some front liners include stars such as Patti Austin, Jeffrey Osborne and The Rippingtons. Dance your way into autumn with a booming jazz beat!
