Four days of freedom
The long holiday weekend is packed with stuff to keep you entertained - and it's all on the house | By Ryan Cormier | The News Journal
With Independence Day falling on a Sunday this year, this four-day weekend could easily be just a blur of barbecues, fireworks and beach blankets.
And, sure, by midday you might have a belly overstuffed with hot dogs, corn on the cob and hamburgers, but don’t let it bring you down.
This weekend – in which we celebrate our freedom – is also overstuffed with plenty of free things to do, whether it’s free fireworks displays, free concerts or free movies.
Do we have to hit you over the head with it? There are loads of things to do that are free. As in “free-dom.”
At the Rehoboth Beach Bandstand, the Fourth of July is like the Super Bowl, with an estimated 80,000 people crowding the beach and Boardwalk for the eye-popping fireworks show over the Atlantic.
It’s easily the busiest weekend of music at the Bandstand each year, and, of course, each show is free, whether it’s the patriotic music from the Chesapeake Silver Cornet Brass Band before the fireworks Sunday or the glitzy fan favorite Elvis Presley impersonator Jesse Garron, who performs Saturday.
Starting Friday night, there will be four performances over the next three days at the Bandstand, decorated with patriotic bunting, giving visitors a quintessential Fourth of July experience.
Corey Groll, program director for the Rehoboth Beach Bandstand, which was built in 2006, replacing the classic, old bandstand, said: “We try to make sure there’s some real big excitement coming to town.”
