Rehoboth Beach gearing up for visitors to come shop, play, and eat in town this Memorial Day Weekend

REHOBOTH, Del.- This Memorial Day Weekend beaches are gearing up for the visitors they will see.

Rehoboth Beach Mayor Stan Mills said this weekend kicks of their summer season, and on a weekend like this one the city may get as many as 50,000 visitors for the whole weekend.With that said, Mayor Mills said the boardwalk is ready to go as well as all the businesses, especially because having more people in town can help financially.

“Of those businesses I talked with they also have that same optimism, can’t wait to get started and believe that it’s going to be a fantastic summer for themselves; even though some are perhaps short a little bit on labor, I think they are all going to make out well, as is the city,” Mayor Mills said.

Mayor Mills said the town also counts on revenue from parking meters and permits and that money can go right back into making sure the beach is ready to enjoy year after year.

Friday night is the start of their free concerts on the band stand for the summer. That will begin at 8 p.m.
