WEEKEND
FESTIVAL
The Plunge Weekend Festival, celebrating its
10th anniversary as a festival, has become
one of the most popular weekend celebrations
in the First State, and is the prelude to Special
Olympics Delaware's largest fundraising event
of the year: the Lewes Polar Bear Plunge.
The festival offers family-friendly fun, involving
downtown Rehoboth businesses which offer
discounted menus and shopping, as well
as children's activities. The 5K Run to the
Plunge gives families and Plunge participants
another event to rally around, and is the
perfect way for people of all ages and abilities
to support the Weekend Festival. The event
also featured Sand Sculpting by local artists,
Andrew West Darrell O'Connor, Marc Schaffer
and Heather Williams, an annual Restaurant
Chili Contest, Fire and Ice (hot wings and
ice cream sampling), and an Ice Carving
demonstration on the boardwalk.
