9th Annual Bug & Bud Festival Next Weekend
18.05.12
The significance of the ladybug in Delaware is tied to Milford when a local second grade class petitioned the Delaware State Legislature in 1973 to accept the ladybug as the official State Bug. “It highlights our town motto of river town, art town, hometown by accenting the Mispillion River, showing off our many different local artists and attracting people to our downtown business district. The Bug & Bud Festival is a celebration of two of Milford’s most cherished symbols, the ladybug and nature. DMI estimates that the crowd this year will be around 10,000 people walking the streets and enjoying downtown Milford. (DMI) and Milford Parks and Recreation will hold their 9th Annual Bug & Bud Festival. “The Bug & Bud Festival serves to honor our city in several different ways,” commented DMI President Irv Ambrose.
