Monday Night Movies on the Beach

Every Monday, June 15 through August 24, starting at 8:30 PM. A giant screen goes up on the sand at Dagsworthy Avenue and the whole town settles in for a movie under the stars. The 2026 lineup includes Zootopia 2, Lilo & Stitch, The Goonies, Wicked: For Good, and more. Free admission with $1 donations encouraged. Kids go absolutely nuts for this one.

Wednesday Night Bonfires on the Beach

Every Wednesday, June 17 through August 20, 7:00 to 9:00 PM. The beach at Dagsworthy lights up for one of Dewey's most beloved traditions. Glow necklaces for a buck, marshmallows for roasting, and the kind of chill mid-week vibe that makes a beach vacation unforgettable. More about Wednesday bonfires.

Rehoboth Beach Bandstand Concerts

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights starting June 12, all shows at 8:00 PM. Just a Jolly Trolley ride up the road, the Rehoboth Bandstand puts on free concerts all summer with a killer lineup of tribute bands and regional acts.
