On what felt like the first true day of summer, more than two dozen artisans participated May 22 in the inaugural Rehoboth Beach Arts Festival. Held on the shaded pathways of Grove Park, the festival was co-hosted by the Rehoboth Art League and the City of Rehoboth Beach. The event, which had a large crowd before it was even technically open, had been scheduled for the Boardwalk last year, but it was canceled because of COVID-19 and moved to the park this year.

The Rehoboth Art League, 12 Dodds Lane, Henlopen Acres, is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and noon to 4 p.m., Sunday. For information on future events and exhibits, call 302-227-8408 or go to rehobothartleague.org.
