Deltaville Maritime Museum (DMM) and Holly Point Nature Park will celebrate Memorial Day weekend with a Saturday of shopping, free creek cruises, boat tours, children’s activities and model trains. All this, plus music — the DMM maritime park will welcome back Deltaville musical couple Sandy and O.T. (Ollie) Adcock to headline the Holly Point Market’s new open mic opportunity that will be offered inside the open events pavilion from 10 a.m.-noon.
The Adcocks encouraged all those local musicians who are interested to grab their instruments and come on out this Saturday, May 27. “We are hoping to continue the opportunity to have a venue for local musicians for all the markets this year,” Ollie Adcock said. “Help us make this one a success.”
We also want to alert you that the Tidewater Oyster Growers Association (TOGA) is back with its “really big show” at the Memorial weekend market. TOGA members will be manning the booth with information and equipment for oyster growers at any level.
The DMM gift shop is currently restocked for the season so, starting at 9 a.m., DMM opens early and the Holly Point Market kicks off in style in the arbors and gardens of the maritime park events and waterfront areas.
Come back to DMM around 4 p.m. as the gates open for a wonderful evening of blues/rock music with Ray Pittman and Tim Moore opening from 5-6 p.m. Area favorite keyboard man Pittman leads things off at 5 p.m. Pittman plays a crowd-pleasing mix of rhythm and blues, Motown and beach music.
To keep the blues flavor of this concert, organizers welcome blues band Blues in the Night for May 27, 6-8 p.m. This is a bring your own lawn chair, cooler and picnic event. Gates open at 4 p.m.
Tickets for Groovin’ are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. Get yours at the DMM office, on the DMM website or at Nauti Nell’s store in Deltaville.
