Delaware County’s newest and biggest summer festival, Riverfront Ramble, is a fabulous family event that takes place on Saturday, September 16, along the waterfront towns from Marcus Hook to Tinicum.  Free transportation up and down the river is provided plus free concerts all day and night including two of the most popular oldies groups of all time…the Del-Vikings and the Platters!  Six beautiful parks along the Delaware River host this event which includes a food festival, 10K river run, pony rides, car shows, craft shows, and much more!

   September is the perfect time to celebrate the end of the summer and this event is capped off with three simultaneous fireworks shows along the river.

   For more information on Riverfront Ramble please contact Brandywine Conference and Visitors Bureau at 610-565-3679 or visit their web site at www.brandywinecvb.org.
