Welcome back to The Cape Current, your go-to for everything cool, creative and community-driven in coastal Delaware. We’re glad you’re here.
This week, we’re celebrating the threads that connect food, music, art and community. Our feature story shines a light on the Rehoboth Beach Writers Guild and its 21 years of nurturing local storytellers. From freewrites to festivals, Maribeth Fischer and her crew have built a creative home that continues to grow.
There’s plenty more to explore. In Live & Local, Marissa Levy gives us a kaleidoscopic week ahead, from folk duos and goat snuggles to teen craft fairs and oyster-fueled markets. Out & About with Kadet Kelly drops us into the magic of Somewhere’s drag showcase, while The Current Bite with Chef Hari Cameron makes a case for why blistered shishito peppers deserve a spot on your grill.
Pam George’s Small Wonder, Big Bites tours The Gallo Room, a new speakeasy-style lounge tucked behind Lewes Oyster House. And The Playbook by Danielle Swallow brings the intrigue with “ghosts” you can spot along the coast.
Finally, The Current Crush takes us inside The Local Bootlegging Co., where Chris Desch has built a speakeasy that’s as much about family and community as it is about cocktails and burgers.
