Sussex Pride to ring in new year at Rehoboth convention center
Sussex Pride, a nonprofit organization for the LGBTQ+ community in Sussex County, will host a New Year’s Eve Celebration starting at 7 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 31, at the Rehoboth Beach Convention Center. The event is being planned in partnership with the Gay Women of Rehoboth Meetup Group.
The celebration will feature music from DJ Sue P, a local legend who recently performed on the Sussex Pride float at the Sea Witch Festival. DJ Sue P will be spinning music all night and helping attendees welcome in 2023 with a champagne toast. The evening will also feature two half-hour drag performances at 9:30 and 11 p.m. curated by talented Rehoboth Beach drag performer and hostess Diamond Doll.
