Second Annual Daffodil Day In Moorestown Saturday
The Moorestown Business Association presents the springtime festival on Main Street from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
MOORESTOWN, NJ — Get your yellow on! Moorestown Business Association (MBA) is kicking off spring with the second annual Daffodil Day on Saturday, April 22, from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. The springtime festival drew thousands to Moorestown’s Main Street in 2016, and this year’s event organizers are expanding the festivities. Inspired by a traditional Nantucket event held each year to herald the springtime, Moorestown’s Daffodil Day will welcome the season with a variety of activities for the whole family.
“We’re looking forward to bringing people outside after a long winter to walk Main Street and enjoy shopping, dining, and entertainment,” said MBA President Steven Pazienza.
Event chair Melissa McGrath added, “There will be a lot to see and do, and everyone is invited to get in the spirit and wear yellow to join the fun!”
