Rehoboth Beach Museum to recreate ‘60s Boardwalk Hop’ at Bandstand June 8

The Rehoboth Beach Museum announced that it will hold a 1960s-era Boardwalk Dance at the Rehoboth Beach Bandstand Saturday, June 8, from 7:30 to 9 p.m. 

Museum Director Nancy Alexander explained, “Summertime highlights in the 1950s and 1960s were the featured dances held on the Boardwalk. Local teens delighted in the evening Boardwalk Hop held at the foot of Rehoboth Avenue. This year, we want to recreate those magical moments for a new generation, and bring back memories for older generations.”

The museum dance event will be the finale that day of the Rehoboth Beach-Dewey Beach Chamber of Commerce 4th Annual Beach Goes Red, White & Blue event saluting police officers, firefighters, paramedics, the military, and others serving the local community, the state and the country. Patriotic events, demonstrations by local, county, and state first responders, and free musical entertainment are among the activities to be held throughout the day, culminating in the museum’s Boardwalk Hop in the evening.

“This will be a fun night to step back in time for a taste of this long gone, but not forgotten, era.  A DJ will spin classic songs and all are invited to dance on the boardwalk. All ages are welcome. We particularly want to invite Rehoboth High School alumni to attend,” Alexander said.

During the year, information about other events being held during this full-day chamber celebration will be posted at www.beach-fun.com on the Beach Goes Red, White & Blue page in the site index.
