Rehoboth Beach to install holiday sing-along tree Nov. 20
In advance of the annual Black Friday holiday tree lighting and sing-along, Rehoboth Beach will install the show’s centerpiece Thursday, Nov. 20.
This year’s tree is being donated by the state. It is located off Route 1, next to the Tharros Village and Delaware Department of Transportation salt barn on the former Delaware State Police Troop 7 property outside Lewes.
The installation of the tree is a big production, closing the Bandstand area while the work is being done.
The annual tree lighting and sing-along is traditionally held on Black Friday, which this year is Friday, Nov. 28. The show is slated to begin at 6 p.m., with the Cape Henlopen Holiday Band, followed by the sing-along with Clear Space Theatre at 6:30 p.m. The tree lighting happens soon afterward.
