The
Wilmington Flower Market returns to Rockford Park for its 88th year,
and WSTW and WDEL are proud to be part of it yet again. The Flower
Market benefits over 50 children's charities in Delaware, and always
runs in conjunction with Mother's Day. This year's Flower Market will
be Thursday through Saturday, May 8-10, 10am-7pm each day, including
crafts, booths, rides, food, fun, and flowers galore. Each day's events
are completely free!
This year's entertainment is provided by WSTW and WDEL, presented on
the Arby's Concert
Stage. The variety of entertainment is fun for all ages with
special visits from Flyleaf's Lacey and Pat, Ferras,
and Philadelphia Eagles Linebacker Chris Gocong!
Please note that performance and autograph signing sessions are only
for the scheduled times. We cannot guarantee everyone will receive
an autograph, especially if the line for autographs is longer than
the scheduled time permits.
Are you a WSTW Choice Rewards player? Then make sure you get to the
Flower Market all three days! We'll have a new 100-point ChoiceWord
on display each of the three days of the Flower Market. If you're not
a Choice Rewards player, now is a great time to join!
