Lewes, Delaware \u2014<\/strong> The City of Lewes continues its long tradition of hosting old-fashioned games for children on Second Street beginning at 9 a.m. on July 4th, 2025. Following the games, the Lewes Independence Day Boat Parade will wind down the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal from Roosevelt Inlet to Fisherman\u2019s Wharf. The boats will depart Roosevelt Inlet at 1:30 p.m. and pass the judges\u2019 reviewing stand at Fisherman\u2019s Wharf around 2 p.m.
Lewes Mayor Amy Marasco will announce the parade, and boats will be judged on patriotic decorations. The awards ceremony will take place at 3:30 p.m. on the deck of the Lightship Overfalls.
The celebrations continue with the unique and quirky Doo-Dah Parade, which forms near Lloyd\u2019s Market on Savannah Road and winds down Kings Highway to Second Street before ending back near Lloyd\u2019s Market. No preregistration is required, and all are invited to join.
The parade\u2019s start time is always unpredictable, adding to its iconic charm. The day will conclude with an annual, fully sanctioned fireworks display launched from a barge off Lewes Beach at dusk. The fireworks are funded by donations from local businesses, residents, and visitors. The Go Fourth Committee, chaired by Russ Palmer, manages fundraising, logistics, and promotion. The event is open to the public. Information about the event is available on the committee\u2019s website \u2014 www.GoFourthLewes.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
