Here in the Mid - Atlantic , we just got finished digging ourselves out of the Charles Percy Snow . But the first signs of leap are in sight : showery days , light jackets , and the announcement of local bound and summer festival batting order . There ’s nothing that cures the wintertime blues like hear what all your preferred outside medicine festivals have in store . From bluegrass in Baltimore , to Florence in Delaware , to hip - record hop on a Philly dock , here are nine festivals to look forward to once the temperature climb .
