SALISBURY, Md. – Before we start talking about the fun heading to Salisbury this weekend, the City is pleased to announce the completion of upgrades at Woodcock Park, and invites the community to celebrate the revitalized playground with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday, Mar. 19, at 4:00 p.m.

The improvement project, led by the City’s Department of Field Operations, began with the removal of the park’s previous playground equipment to make way for a modern and more engaging play space. The newly installed playground features updated equipment designed to better serve local children and families while providing a safe, vibrant place for recreation. Community members are invited to attend the ribbon cutting and be among the first to enjoy the park’s new features. City officials, staff and community partners will gather to mark the completion of the project and celebrate the investment in one of Salisbury’s neighborhood parks. Kona Ice also plans to be onsite serving up sweet treats for attendees during the event!

On Saturday, Mar. 21, come out to Unity Square to see Tales of the Globe — a celebration of cultures! The joyful afternoon will feature stories, creativity, and puppet shows by children from India, Nepal, China, and Nigeria. This is a free event open to all. Performances begin at 3:00 p.m., and free popcorn will be available to munch on while you watch!

Additionally, there are two chances to ride this Saturday. For bicycle and motorcycle riders alike, Shore Cycles on North Salisbury Boulevard is having a cook-out in their parking lot, starting at 10:00 a.m. Stop by and grab a delicious platter of BBQ chicken and sides for $15 to support the local community. DJ Mikey will be rocking the house with great music, and there will be activities for any kids tagging along. Additionally, the Wicomico Humane Society will be on-site from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. with adoptable fur-babies!

Also on Saturday, for solely motorcycle riders, rev those engines just up the street for a Bike Blessing & Ride at Rommel Harley-Davidson Delmarva. Start the day with coffee & donuts at 10:00 a.m., get your bike blessed for a safe riding season, and take part in a scavenger hunt before members roll out for a group ride to lunch. The event will wrap up around 1:00 p.m.
