    "They have music in the summer, Milford oyster fest. Great 4th of July and New Years fireworks. Milford does a holiday tree lighting every year. The city has beautiful beaches, with sand castle sculpture contested, pumpkins on the pier, paddle board lessons, biking and walking trails and so much more. We recently got into pickle ball because MILFORD just put in 8 courts at Eisenhower park. You’ll never run out of things to do in this town. "
