2024 Running of the Bull. DAN COOK PHOTO

From Bays to Backstreets

Welcome to The Cape Current as we sail into the heart of summer 2025. We are your go-to for everything cool, creative, and community-driven in Coastal Delaware. Thanks for picking us up.

Our feature story, Captain of the Bays, takes readers aboard a well-worn pontoon boat for a tour of the Inland Bays, where floating coolers, sandbar dance parties, and family memories anchor the season.

But that’s just one route through this packed issue. Kadet Kelly’s Out & About brings sparkle and sass to a very personal guide to Rehoboth’s drag and nightlife scene. Live & Local rounds up can’t-miss events like the Running of the Bull and line dancing at the Elks Lodge. In The Current Bite, Hari Cameron turns garden-fresh squash into curry ketchup – a condiment so good it might outshine the main dish. Over in Brewsworthy, Zeke Ottemiller delivers pitch-perfect beer pairings for everything from seafood to chocolate cake.

Pam George’s Small Wonder column takes a look at Lewes’ historic restaurant spaces – homes-turned-hotspots with as much story as flavor. And Current Canvas features the powerful work of artist Itzel Aguilar, whose mixed media pieces reclaim space and narrative through memory, heritage, and resilience.

Pick a dock, pick a barstool, pick a story. There’s plenty to discover. We’re glad you’re here.
