Bethany Beach food, clothing drive continues
The Town of Bethany Beach is canceling its 2020 Holiday Happenings due to COVID- 19.
The event, which annually takes place the first Saturday in December, typically includes a party with Santa and other seasonal attractions like horse-drawn wagon rides, trolley rides through town and beach tractor rides.
Social distancing and mask requirements are still in effect in Bethany as per Delaware’s Phase 2 mandates. Many Bethany-area businesses will be open and offering special incentives on the three Saturdays leading up to Christmas: Dec. 5, 12 and 19.
The town will be festively decorated, and the holiday tree on the Bandstand Plaza will be lit, but there will be no official gatherings.
In keeping with the spirit of the season, there will still be a food and clothing drive. All are encouraged to bring hats, gloves, scarves and canned goods to deposit in bins near the tree for donation to local charities.
