Welcome back! It’s hard to believe that it’s week four of The Cape Current’s summer season. This issue is overflowing with stories that speak to what makes this place so special: its bold history, creative spirit, and community heartbeat.
Our cover story traces Rehoboth’s queer legacy, from underground gatherings to full-blown celebration. James T. Sears walks us through the resistance, resilience, and joy that built one of the most vibrant LGBTQ+ communities on the East Coast.
We’ve also got your guide to living well and living local: plant-forward eats in The Current Bite, Kadet Kelly’s Pride sermon in Out & About, and off-the-boardwalk picks for June in Live & Local — from wine-soaked fundraisers to hammock yoga. Meanwhile, Ryan Vai introduces DAC’s Fresh Art Fridays in this week’s Current Canvas, spotlighting the next wave of bold creatives bringing energy and imagination to West Reho.
And if you’re hungry, don’t worry. Beyond Beer proves some of the best meals in town are being served where the taps never run dry.
Thanks for picking us up. Let’s keep the party going.
