Bethany Beach, Delaware, Events, 9/4/10 – 9/6/10, Delaware Beaches
Last week when I went to Bethany I could not believe the amount of people still in town. It has been a little different this week. Not as crowded, plenty of parking; a relief!!
Still this week-end is going to be a nice one with plenty of actitivities in town.
Saturday, 9/4 – The Bethany Beach Bandstand’s Grand Finale will be a rock ‘n’ roll one with the U.S. Army Volunteers. It is free and it’s starting at 7 p.m. For more info. please call 302-539-5484 or visit www.townofbethanybeach.com.
Sunday, 9/5 – The final day for the Bethany Beach Farmers’ Market in the PNC Bank parking lot at Garfield Parkway and Pennsylvania Ave. 8 a.m. until Noon. For info. please call 302-537-5243 or visit www.bbfm.us.

Monday, 9/6 – A tradition for 25 years. How can I forget when Sharon and I would wait for the whole thing to start. The Friends of Summer started this tradition. The merchants could lay to rest the summer season on Labor Day.
It is a Bethany Beach Jazz Funeral – A gathering of mourners will follow the procession which will start at 5:30 p.m. at the north end of the Boardwalk; the casket being carried with a mannequin representing the Summer of 2010.
Some in costumes; some sobbing along the route to the Bandstand. The somber music, New Orleans style, will be playing ; then into a high gear upbeat jazz sound.
Around 6 p.m. or so the Lifeguards of Bethany Beach also bid farewell to the summer season with a celebratory swim. Many years ago that celebratory swim was taken, let’s say in a different way and I will leave it at that…
Have a great holiday week-end….talk to you later….
