Happy Fourth of July Week 

Welcome to week 8 of The Cape Current, your go-to for everything community-driven in coastal Delaware. We’re glad you picked us up.

In this issue, Live & Local captures the rhythm of July, where the scent of sunscreen meets the spin of a vinyl record. Marissa Levy brings you a laid-back lineup of music, movement, and mellow vibes from across the Cape Region.

Then we cool off with The Current Bite, where Chef Hari Cameron shares his recipe for first-of-the-season peach sorbet – a delicious tribute to Bennett Orchards’ sweet summer bounty.

Over in Brewsworthy, Zeke Ottemiller checks in with local brewers to find out what’s in their coolers for the Fourth. From hazy IPAs to Rocket Pop seltzers, these picks are full of flavor and local pride.

Pam George serves up double helpings in Small Wonder, Big Bites – with a feature on where to eat and celebrate this Fourth of July, plus a full plate of fireworks-friendly food and drink finds from Lewes to Rehoboth.

Our feature story takes you deep into the heart of Cape Henlopen State Park – a local treasure shaped by centuries of history, military remnants, natural beauty, and generations of summer memories.

And in Current Crush, meet Joanne Kenton, a handcycling powerhouse who went from 14 years on crutches to winning the Boston Marathon.
