It’s a Bloomin’ Dance Party fundraiser set March 15

Rehoboth Beach Main Street and Rehoboth in Bloom will hold their third annual dance party fundraiser from 7 to 10 p.m., Friday, March 15, at Rehoboth Beach Convention Center.

DJ Sky Brady will be spinning tunes. Beer, wine, coffee and dessert will be available for a cash donation. Proceeds support Rehoboth in Bloom’s work to beautify downtown Rehoboth Beach. With more than 73 volunteers, the group will begin its sixth year this spring, now maintaining three gardens and 103 self-watering planters.

The first two years, the event was known as the Oldies Dance Party, but the name has been changed to It’s a Bloomin’ Dance Party. Cindy Lovett, event organizer and Rehoboth in Bloom volunteer, said some folks came expecting only music from the ‘50s and ‘60s, and were disappointed because music through to the ‘80s was played. Since the ‘80s had some of the most fun dance music, Rehoboth in Bloom simply decided to change the name, she said.

“There will still be lots of oldies,” said Lovett.

Admission is $25, and tickets are limited. To purchase tickets, go to downtownrb.com/bloom or eventbrite.com, or visit the Rehoboth Beach Main Street office, 509 Rehoboth Ave., Rehoboth Beach.
