Rehoboth Beach began the Cape Region’s celebration of Independence Day with its fireworks July 3. The annual event brought thousands of people to the beach.
If you missed the show, there’s still plenty of fun to be had. There’s a whole slate of events happening July 4 in Lewes – children’s games at 9 a.m., boat parade at 2 p.m., the Doo-Dah Parade around 5 p.m. and then the second annual Go Fourth Lewes fireworks display. Henlopen Acres is hosting its annual parade at 9:30 a.m. Bethany Beach has a parade at noon and fireworks tonight. Dewey Beach’s annual fireworks display will take off from a barge in Rehoboth Bay.
There may have been another business with a giant blowup doll, but Union Home Mortgage’s was the most visible.
