Grain On The Rocks hosts first socially distanced summer concert
Grain On The Rocks at the Cape May-Lewes Ferry terminal held the first of four outdoor summer concerts July 23, with a performance by Cape Region legends The Funsters.
The ferry terminal’s green space was divided into a grid. Each 12-by-12-foot block could welcome up to eight family members.
The event kicked off Grain’s Rocking the Docks concert series at the ferry this summer.
Grain co-owner Lee Mikles said he worked with Delaware River and Bay Authority and the state to develop a safe plan for the shows. Face coverings are required when not within a family’s designated area.
Rocking the Docks will continue Thursday, July 30, with the Brit Pack of New York; and Thursday, Aug. 6, with Pressing Strings of Annapolis, Md.; and conclude with Hot Dogs & Gin of Endicott, N.Y., Thursday, Aug. 20. To reserve a space, purchase tickets or learn more about the concerts, go to www.rockingthedocks.com. Tickets are $40 per square and proceeds benefit Friends of Cape Henlopen State Park.
