The Fourth of July weekend at the Delaware beaches is set to be a festive, but potentially wet and traffic-filled, affair. Multiple towns along the coast will be hosting free firework shows, including Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach, Bethany Beach, and Fenwick Island.
The weather forecast for the weekend includes mostly sunny days with temperatures around 80 degrees, but with a chance of storms on Thursday and Friday. The threat of rain, however, shouldn’t deter beachgoers as storms often pass quickly during the summer months.
Due to the influx of visitors, traffic is expected to be heavy throughout the weekend. Visitors are advised to allow extra time for travel and parking, and consider walking, biking, or using public transportation when possible to avoid congestion.
Despite the potential challenges, each town has a lineup of events and celebrations planned. From parades to concerts to fireworks displays, there will be plenty of entertainment for residents and visitors alike. In Rehoboth Beach, for example, there will be a free concert by The Funsters at the bandstand followed by a fireworks show on Saturday, July 6.
While the threat of rain may impact some outdoor events, organizers are hopeful that the festivities will go on as planned. Updates and any changes due to weather conditions will be posted on town websites.
Overall, the Fourth of July weekend at the Delaware beaches promises to be a fun and patriotic celebration. Visitors are encouraged to be patient, plan ahead, and enjoy the holiday weekend responsibly.
