Delaware Wild Lands is exciting to be hosting not one, but TWO first-ever events on DWL properties!
First: Flight of the Crane a Pop-up Opera event by Opera Delaware!
Saturday November 7, 2:00 pm
Delaware Wild Lands, Inc.
315 Taylors Bridge Rd. Townsed, DE 19734
Join us for an unforgettable evening on protected lands, where food, drink, birds, and music come together in a one-of-a-kind experience.
Guests will travel into the wild by tram car, stopping at four intimate stations along the way. At each stop, you’ll enjoy a carefully curated wine tasting and small bite while discovering the birds, water, and habitats that make this landscape special. Guided by trained naturalists, you’ll experience the landscape in a way that’s rarely possible: slowly, quietly, and with time to listen.
You’ll then return to the Charlie F. Gummey Jr. Terrace as evening falls for the unexpected grand finale: a live OperaDelaware performance with curated avian selections from some of opera’s best (The Magic Flute, Pagliacci, and more) – all this set against the landscape you’ve just explored!
Next: Lace up your running shoes for a Wild Winter Run!
Saturday December 5, 9:00 am
DWL Sharp Farm
2978 North DuPont Parkway Middletown, DE 19709
Bundle up and hit the trail for Delaware Wild Lands’ Wild Winter Run 5K—a festive, cross country-style race through some of Delaware’s most scenic protected lands. Whether you’re chasing a fast time or enjoying a winter walk, this event is built for runners and walkers of all levels. The course winds through natural terrain, offering a true cross-country experience across open fields, along forest edges, and on wide trails. It’s a refreshing change from road running and a great way to stay active during the winter months.
Come for the run, stay for the fun. Participants will enjoy festive swag and seasonal awards honoring top finishers and standout efforts.
