On Friday, September 19, 2025, the Friends of Fort DuPont closed out the inaugural Fort Folk Fest summer concert series with an unforgettable night of music under the stars. Nearly 50 people gathered on the Parade Ground to experience the magic of The Honey Badgers, a Delaware folk duo known for their rich harmonies, heartfelt melodies, and undeniable chemistry on stage.
As the sun set behind the historic Fort DuPont campus, the performance began with golden skies creating the perfect backdrop. The Honey Badgers’ voices blended beautifully, filling the evening air with warmth and connection. Their set showcased not only their vocal harmonies but also the storytelling power of their original music, resonating deeply with the audience.
The crowd was captivated from start to finish, swaying, singing along, and soaking in the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. With nearly 50 attendees, the concert had the intimate feel of a community gathering while still carrying the energy of a festival.
The Honey Badgers were the perfect choice to conclude the first Fort Folk Fest series. Their performance embodied what the Friends of Fort DuPont aim to achieve—bringing people together through arts, culture, and community programming in a beautiful and historic setting.
This final night of Fort Folk Fest was more than just a concert; it was a celebration of music, history, and togetherness. The Friends of Fort DuPont look forward to continuing this tradition and expanding future concert offerings at Fort DuPont State Park.
Stay tuned for more live music, cultural programming, and family-friendly events hosted by the Friends of Fort DuPont.
