CAMP Rehoboth’s Block Party returned Oct. 14 to the second block of Baltimore Avenue.

The first event was held in 2015 as part of CAMP’s 25-year celebration, but was shut down in 2019 due to weather, 2020 due to the pandemic and 2021 due to weather again.

This year’s event enjoyed great weather, which brought out a large crowd to see live entertainment, eat good food, buy small-business offerings and participate in advocacy.
