Celebrate Halloween with a Maritime Twist!

Celebrate Halloween at the Kalmar Nyckel Foundation Shipyard with a maritime twist on spooky fun for the whole family! Come dressed in your favorite costume and enjoy tours of the Kalmar Nyckel, Delaware’s Tall Ship, along with pumpkin painting and plenty of other family-friendly activities.

Then, make your way to Fort Christina and stop by to say hello to some of your favorite Park Rangers as you trick-or-treat through the park. But beware—you never know whether the rangers will have a trick or a treat waiting for you!
