Rehoboth lights up for Christmas 1994

December 2, 2025

The annual tree-lighting and sing-along celebration is a tradition in Rehoboth Beach, dating back to 1985. Every year on Black Friday, hundreds of people meet at the Bandstand to join together in welcoming the holiday season to the Cape Region. The event serves as a kickoff of many annual events such as parades, tree lightings, house tours and more.
