A sold-out crowd gathered at Dewey Business Partnership’s annual Dewey Winter Gala, held Feb. 26 at The Lighthouse.
This year’s gala theme was Glow, and attendees enjoyed entertainment by The Reagan Years, Kristen & The Noise, and DJ Manny Mann.
The morning after, a crowd gathered to watch the Dewey Dunk, held at a new location on the bayside beach outside The Lighthouse. The dunk was originally set for Jan. 1 and rescheduled due to weather.
Proceeds help DBP host year-round, family friendly events and support town public safety initiatives.
