CAMP Rehoboth’s flagship fundraiser returns to the Rehoboth Beach Convention Center for two nights of entertainment. On August 30, comedian Zach Zimmerman entertains with sharp observational humor. The following evening features a high‑energy dance party with legendary DJs Robbie Leslie and Joe Gauthreaux; the music continues well past midnight. The festival offers VIP and general admission tickets and benefits CAMP Rehoboth’s community programs.

This year marks the 40th annual Bethany Beach Jazz Funeral – a theatrical, tongue‑in‑cheek New Orleans–style farewell to summer. At 5:30 p.m., a motley crew of “Friends of Summer” organizes at the north end of the boardwalk, many dressed in black or humorous costumes. Three live Dixieland bands (including the Jazz Funeral Irregulars, Dixie Cats, and Downtown Dixieland Band) lead a procession, carrying a casket labeled “Summer 2025” toward the bandstand. The event is family‑friendly, free of charge, and draws around 2,000 participants who take part in the procession or gather to watch the bands and performances.
