Rehoboth Beach 2021 fireworks

Enjoy the Independence Day holiday weekend and the Rehoboth Beach 2021 fireworks!

The City of Rehoboth just announces plans for this year’s Fireworks:

A fireworks display will be launched at approximately 9:30 pm Saturday, July 3. It will be visible from along the beach and boardwalk. Festivities will begin at 8 pm at the Rehoboth Beach bandstand with an oldies concert courtesy of Funsters. They will play again following the fireworks display, until 11 pm.

The City of Rehoboth Beach will provide several hand-sanitizing stations along the beach and boardwalk. Vaccinated individuals are not required to wear masks, but may choose to do so because of the large crowd that is anticipated. Individuals who are not vaccinated should wear a mask when attending this event. And according to CDC guidelines, in other locations when around people outside of their immediate household.

Portable restrooms will be utilized at various street ends. They will be set up at the Baltimore and Wilmington comfort stations. These will be installed the morning of July 3. Portable bathrooms at street ends will be removed the following morning. Those at comfort stations will be removed July 5.

Road closures will be implemented to facilitate access and safety:

• Vehicular traffic in the bandstand area will be closed from 6 pm-midnight.
• ​Beginning at 6 pm, only bus traffic and residents will be permitted on Henlopen and Surf avenues.
• Vehicles will not be able to cross Rehoboth Avenue at the circle beginning at 7 pm.
• Rehoboth Avenue eastbound and Church Street from State Route 1 will be closed to vehicular traffic beginning at 8:30 pm. At that point, all vehicles entering Rehoboth Beach will have to do so via State Road to Bayard Avenue.
• Residents on Henlopen Avenue, in Henlopen Acres, and North Shores must access their residences via Second Street beginning at 8:30 pm.
• To exit Rehoboth after the fireworks, vehicles north of Rehoboth Avenue will be directed to exit via Rehoboth and Columbia avenues.
