Get ready for a Christmas event as joyful and comforting as your Grandma’s gingerbread cookies. It’s almost time for the Rehoboth Beach Christmas Parade, a celebration that brings Southern Delaware to life.
What is the Rehoboth Beach Christmas Parade?
The Christmas Parade is an old-fashioned Christmas celebration, one that stitches the fabric of the community together in the warmest of ways. Organized this year by the Rehoboth Beach Volunteer Fire Company, this year parade’s will see a host of fire trucks, bands, floats, bands, and wonderful colors traveling down and up Rehoboth Avenue – a true explosion of sights and sounds.
Where is the Rehoboth Beach Christmas Parade?
Traditionally the parade actually zigzags through the charming streets of Lewes — not Rehoboth Beach, as you might have thought. This year’s parade, however, will be in Rehoboth Beach – it will begin at the intersection of Rehoboth Avenue and Fifth Street before it marches on down Rehoboth Avenue.
How to Get to the Rehoboth Beach Christmas Parade
The town of Lewes is a stone’s throw from Rehoboth Beach, so don’t worry if you’re staying in the latter. The journey from Rehoboth Beach to Lewes could be a scenic drive or a quick bike ride, thanks to the well-maintained roads and numerous bike trails that connect these sibling towns. Public transportation options are also available.
Where to Park at the Rehoboth Beach Christmas Parade
The town offers various parking areas, both paid and free, within a reasonable distance from the parade route. But remember, these spaces fill up as fast as a Christmas stocking, so be sure to arrive early to claim your spot.
Rehoboth Beach Christmas Parade Activities
After the parade, the celebrations continue. Join other parade participants at the Rehoboth Beach Volunteer Fire Station Museum for Santa’s Christmas Party – children can visit Santa Claus, who will be giving out small gifts and refreshments. Those wishing to attend are asked to fill out the Rehoboth Beach Christmas Parade application form by 18th November 2024.
Don’t rush off too quickly, though! The entire Christmas weekend in Lewes is packed with activities. The festivities kick off a few days before the parade during the Lewes Merchants’ 36th annual Hospitality Night, and many other events are sprinkled throughout the weekend. Check the chamber’s website for the most up-to-date information.
So, whether you’re a holiday-goer who has had their Christmas shopping done since July or a last-minuteer scrambling for gifts, this parade is a must for your Christmas list.
