This is steps away from the Zwaanendael Museum and just a short walk from the main part of downtown Lewes. So, if you love herb gardens don't miss this one. It's very lovely and well marked and worth the walk. The whole park is lovely as well. This is worth the short walk from downtown if you're in Lewes. You will be glad you took the time to go!See more..
4.5Stango Park(6 reviews) - Great concerts in a lovely park in Lewes. Parks • Gardens
The park just as a park provides a quiet spot to visit and enjoy the area. On Tuesday evenings for a number of years now Stango Park, courtesy of the City of Lewes, WSFS bank, and the Delaware Division of the Arts bursts out in music and song. The summer concert series has twelve toe tapping concerts free to the public to enjoy and wow are they a lot of fun for young and old. If the weather is bad they move the concert to the Cape Henlopen High School theatre at 1250 Kings Highway down the road. We have been attending every year since we first found out about them and have seen three great shows this year with one more to go in August. Bring your chair and come on out for a good time!See more..
