Cars, soccer and a day on the bay: 5 fun things to do this weekend on Delmarva

The Daily Times

The beaches in Ocean City, Md. are full of swimmers and vacationers during the holiday week on July 3, 2017.

It's August. Yes, already. Where has the summer gone?

As usual, the summer months are flying by as we march toward another school year (and football season). But the arrival of August means the arrival of Delmarva's busiest month, as travelers get in their final days of vacationing.

That being said, there are still plenty of ways to spend your weekends around the beach towns.

From a car show to a children's day of fun on the bay in Ocean City, here are five fun ways to spend this weekend on Delmarva.
