One of Rehoboth’s biggest Halloween festivals is almost here… and these are the locals’ secrets to making the most of it. 🎃🍂
Sea Witch returns October 23–25! Save these tips:
🔵 Start Friday. Community Fair: 12–5 PM at the Bandstand. Indoor vendors and Kids’ Corner: 12–6 PM at the Convention Center.
⚪ Arrive early Saturday. The parade starts at 11 AM! Rehoboth Avenue closes to traffic at 2 AM; vehicle crossings at First and Second streets stop at 9:30 AM. Grab breakfast and settle into your viewing spot early.
🔵 Know your parking. Friday’s overnight ban ends at 6 AM; park only where signs permit. Saturday: no median parking from 1 AM through the parade. The Avenue reopens after fence removal, expected around 4 PM. Find a legal side-street spot and plan to walk.
⚪ Stay after the parade. Saturday’s Sea Witch Hunt runs 1–5 PM, beach games and broom toss start at 2 PM, and downtown merchants’ trick-or-treating runs 6:30–7:30 PM.
🔵 Come back Sunday. The dog parade starts at 1 PM, with registration/judging at noon and winners announced at the Bandstand at 2:30 PM. Outdoor vendors run 10 AM–4 PM.
⚪ Eat before the rush. Reserve dinner where possible and explore Baltimore and Wilmington avenues, too. Support your favorite local spots!
Take your chairs and belongings when you leave the parade—the city collects unattended items afterward.
