A perfect beach day July 5 was followed by a perfect night for fireworks in Rehoboth Beach. A nice breeze kept the humidity at bay for the most part. The beach and Boardwalk was shoulder to shoulder during the colorful display. The Funsters kicked off the show with a lively performance at the Bandstand. The local band, which always plays for the city’s fireworks show, celebrated the 20th anniversary of being the first performers on the Bandstand when it reopened in 2006.
