TRAFFIC ALERTS Please be advised that road work along your beach travels may cause delays, or lane closures. Also, be aware of new pedestrian crossings. Expect slower traffic.
Traffic Alerts and Info: Memorial Day through Labor Day avoid travel on mid mornings or early afternoons on Saturdays as this is "Moving In Day" for weekly renters, and traffic is usually very heavy. If you must travel on Saturday, be in the downtown parking areas by 9:00am. Avoid leaving Rehoboth Beach late Sunday afternoons, as well as early Monday mornings. On rainy days, Route 1 is very congested due to outlet shoppers. Be sure to exercise caution and patience during your travels on Route 1 as there are many last minute lane changes and turns made.

An old friend finds a new home “The Dolle’s sign is an iconic symbol of Rehoboth Beach,” says Nancy Alexander, director of the Rehoboth Beach Historical Society and Museum. “The historical society is grateful to Tom Ibach for donating it to the society, and we are grateful to the City of Rehoboth Beach for cooperating with us in having the sign mounted on the museum building. “The Dolle’s sign represents many happy memories for people who visit the city,” she adds. “Whether it is their first visit or one of many over the years, the sign is a symbol to so many people that vacation has begun.” More than 250 donors contributed more than $35,000 to help bring the sign to the museum. |

CAMP Rehoboth theatre season to open June 23 This season will center on LGBTQ stories and further CAMP Rehoboth’s mission to bring arts to the community. All shows will be directed by Russell Stiles. The second production of the year will be “Five Lesbians Eating a Quiche” by Andrew Hobgood and Evan Linder. It’s 1956 and the Susan B. Anthony Society for the Sisters of Gertrude Stein are having their annual quiche breakfast. As the assembled “widows” await the announcement of the society's prize-winning quiche, the atomic bomb sirens sound. Winner of the 2012 NYC International Fringe Festival as Best Overall Production, “Five Lesbians Eating A Quiche” is a tasty recipe of hysterical laughs, sexual innuendoes, unsuccessful repressions and delicious discoveries. Show dates are Thursday and Friday, Sept. 29 and 30, and Saturday, Oct. 1, in the Elkins-Archibald Atrium. Finally, in February 2023, CAMP Rehoboth will present “Burgerz,” a one-person show by Travis Alabanza. After transphobic slurs – and a hamburger – are thrown at theatre artist Travis Alabanza, a newfound passion is ignited. They become obsessed with hamburgers: how they are made, how they feel and smell, how they travel through the air, how the mayonnaise feels on the skin.

March 8, 2022 “These national recognitions from the Arbor Day Foundation are perennial in Rehoboth Beach, but that doesn’t mean that we take them – or our trees – for granted,” said Arborist Liz Lingo in a prepared statement. “The city’s commitment to tree canopy preservation, maintenance and planting are critical to safeguarding Rehoboth’s wooded seaside character, which is so highly valued by our residents and visitors.” Rehoboth is one of 3,600 communities across the country that qualify for Tree City USA designation by meeting four program requirements: having a tree board or department, a tree-care ordinance, an annual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita, and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation. The Growth Award recognizes communities that demonstrate year-over-year increasing levels of tree care and community engagement. |
