July 4th Fireworks: Slaughter Beach, Bethany or Rehoboth?

Life is good. We are a few days away from one of the most celebrated holidays in the U.S. - Independence Day.

In the United States, Independence Day is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain.

Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, picnics, baseball games, and various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States, but is often also viewed as simply a summer festival, apart from its patriotic overtones - is upon us. It seems like yesterday when we were wearing fleece jackets and knit hats. So, seize the day and enjoy the week. From a locals perspective it appears that the weather forecast is for sunny skies with highs in the 80s. Perfect.

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Read the story »

Rehoboth Beach Fireworks

The Rehoboth Beach Fireworks Display will launch on Friday evening at 9:15. It is recommended that you park and ride in on the buses from County Bank. There will be signs to direct you.

Following the fireworks, there will be a special performance by the Funsters at the Rehoboth Beach Bandstand.

Over 80,000 people are expected to take in the display, according to sponsor Rehoboth Beach Main Street, who will throw their (now sold-out) annual rooftop “Works Party” atop the Atlantic Sands Hotel.

It’s shaping up to be a great 4th of July.
