LEWES, DE, (JUNE 6, 2024) – The Lewes Concert Series makes its return starting on Wednesday June 12 and promises more music and more sunsets! The 10 week concert series returns with a mix of nationally touring artists along with some of the best tribute bands in the country… and yes The Amish Outlaws are returning! Kicking off the shows will be the Rolling Stones Tribute Band – The Classic Stones followed by a special Thursday night performance by Baltimore Maryland native Cris Jacobs and local sensation Sweet Leda.
The all-ages outdoor music series takes place on the green at the Lewes Ferry terminal, beginning at 6 p.m., from June 12-August 14.
Event organizer Matt VanBelle shared, “We’re excited to have the summer concert season back upon us. Our team has been hard at work to make sure we continue to deliver a world-class music experience in such a beautiful scenic space right on the water.”
New this year is a dedicated Food Truck Schedule rotating every show throughout the summer. Also new this summer is the introduction of the Vendor Market. “We wanted to continue to weave the local small businesses into the fabric of our events,” VanBelle continued. Look for local vendors like Mojave Salt, Surf Lotus, Jenny Leigh Boutique, and more.
Making the return is Dewey Beach Picnic Co.‘s VIP tent with upgrades to stage viewing and other amenities. VIP ticket holders have early access at 5pm and have a private bar under the shady tent.
