The Bethany-Fenwick Area Chamber of Commerce recently announced WSFS Bank as the presenting sponsor of the 34th Annual Bethany Beach Boardwalk Arts Festival.

Planning for this year’s showcase, set for Saturday, Sept. 8, is well under way. This signature annual fine arts festival will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., featuring jewelry, glass, pottery, watercolor and oil painting, basketry, woodworking and more. More than 100 artists, both local and from around the country, will be displaying their fine work along the bandstand and boardwalk areas as well as the street festival areas of Parkwood Street and Garfield Parkway in downtown, sponsored by NVHomes and ResortQuest.

“The chamber would like to thank WSFS Bank for their continued support of one of the premier events in the Quiet Resorts area,” said chamber Executive Director Carrie Subity. “The arts festival is one of the chamber’s signature events, and we are thrilled to have such a community-focused institution as our lead sponsor for this year’s festival.”

“WSFS Bank is both honored and grateful for the opportunity to partner with the Bethany-Fenwick Chamber of Commerce to be the presenting sponsor of the Bethany Beach Boardwalk Arts Festival,” said Janis L. Julian, senior vice president and director of community strategy. “We are so proud to support this event which celebrates the arts in the state that we have called our home for 180 years.”
