MILTON, Del. — The Fourth Rally for First Responders will take place on May 31 at Hudson Fields, drawing families and supporters from across Sussex County for an afternoon of entertainment and charitable giving. The event runs from noon to 5 p.m., with gates opening at 11:30 a.m. Entry is $10 per person aged 12 and older; children under 12 are free. All proceeds benefit a range of first responder organizations, including the Lewes, Georgetown, Milton, Indian River, and Rehoboth Beach fire departments, Georgetown EMS, the Beebe Medical Foundation, and additional emergency response and healthcare-related groups.
Attendees can expect a full slate of family-friendly activities: live music, pony rides, a bounce house, a pet parade, and a selection of food trucks—including local favorite Smash Mouth Smash Burgers. Organizers say the rally offers a chance for residents to show appreciation for those on the front lines while enjoying a festive, community-focused event. The rally has grown into a signature gathering in Milton, highlighting the strong local support for emergency service workers and medical professionals. With regional departments facing increased call volumes and funding challenges, event proceeds help close critical gaps and sustain essential services. The venue, Hudson Fields, is located at 29763 Eagle Crest Road. For more details, call 302-233-2076.
