Bethany Beach Independence Day Celebration

This is our biggest party of the year with a parade featuring marching bands, floats, bands on trucks, and bikes taking the 2-mile trek through downtown Bethany at noon then an evening concert on the Bandstand by The 1974 at 7:30 followed by the area's best fireworks show. (Fireworks will depend on beach conditions.)

The 2024 theme is "Celebrating 40 Years." Get in the spirit by commemmorating a special birthday, anniversary, or just 40 years spent in Bethany Beach by entering a float for fun prizes.
