If you are in the area come & check out an annual tradition.
July 4th Fireworks are presented by Main Street & Zambelli Internationale. Every year on the July 4th weekend, more than 80,000 people gather on the boardwalk and shoreline in Rehoboth Beach for a marvelous fireworks display. I still say they draw a bigger crowd than that due to not many places downstate doing fireworks anymore plus being able to ride your boat or one of the boats that will take people out there.
8-9 p.m. a touring show band playing popular contemporary music at the bandstand by volunteers from the ARMY
9:15-ish - a always spectacular (if sometimes too short) Fireworks display visible from the beach and boardwalk in Rehoboth and up and down the coast.
After Fireworks- The Funsters will be preforming at the Bandstand
Use the Shuttle Service from Route One at the field between County Bank & Jungle Jims. The buses start at 5 p.m. and will bring people into town by 8:45 p.m.; then the shuttle wil run again after the fireworks until past 11 pm. Parking is only $10 per car. For further information about times, transportation or parking, please email info@downtownrehoboth.com
The Jolly Trolley Shuttle will operate 8:00 AM until around 2:00 AM. The regular route will be altered between 6-11:00 PM while Rehoboth Avenue is closed. The Jolly Trolley will have a stop on Christian Street, uptown, behind Jack Lingo Realtor.
I like longer fireworks shows but Rehoboth does a good one, I know fireworks have gotten more expensive over the years & when your a kid they seem to go on forever.
The Lewes Independence Day Boat Parade, whihch is co-sponsored by the Lewes Chamber of Commerce, the Friends of the Lewes Canalfront Park, and the Overfalls Maritime Museum Foundation, is as usual seeking entries. The parade follows the popular "Old Fashioned Fourth of July" games on Second Street sponsored by the City of Lewes.
It will start at Roosevelt inlet at 1:30pm & works its way down the canel towards Fishermans Wharf & the drawbridge. Expected arrival time by the City Docks is 2:00, rain or shine. To be eligible for a prize the vessel must be registered by 10am Saturday 7/4. Registration forms are available now at the Lewes Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center in the Fisher-Martin House located next to the Zwaanendael Museum (facing Kings Highway), Lewes Harbor Bait & Tackle at the end of Anglers Road (next to Irish Eyes), Ole Salt Bait and Tackle Shop on New Road or at Pilottown Marina on Pilottown Road. Boats not registered by 10 a.m. on July 4 are invited to join the parade by arriving at Roosevelt Inlet by 1:00 p.m. and follow the numbered boat entries.
The patriotic theme will be exhibited through the boats' decorations and the boat owners' holiday attire. The Grand Prize winner will receive a custom-designed, carved trophy made by parade committee member Bert Long, a well-known local artisan who specializes in wood caricatures. First, Second and Third prize ribbons also will be awarded.
