The Go Fourth Lewes Fireworks: How to Donate and Get Important Information
Thank you for the AMAZING support for our community fireworks display in 2018, 2019, and 2021! (See video below to relive 2019!)
We all missed the 2020 fireworks, but the year away made for an extra special and magical night this year on 7/4/2021! Our logistics plans will remain pretty much the same, as things are working well. Again, we ask you to arrive early, stay late, walk, bike, or you can view from areas in town, or other higher elevations.
We so appreciate everyone who is listening to those messages!
We still need to work on lingering longer on the beach after the show. Some people even live during the show! Why rush off to sit in traffic? Stay for the entire show and enjoy.
We will continue to strive for a wide viewing area and focus on high aerial rockets, so great viewing spots will extend far beyond the beach.

We are seeking donors to fund the fireworks all year long and need the help of the community to make our fireworks fly over the bay. This a community event which is funded solely by local residents and businesses. We did not do any direct solicitation in 2020-2021, as many businesses were hit hard. Instead, we are asking individuals and businesses who CAN support to give us a hand. We truly need your help.
Go Fourth works in cooperation with the City of Lewes, but the fireworks are not a City or Chamber funded event.
If you enjoy the show, then please donate.

We appreciate donations of any amount!

Our History and evolution
Fourth of July Fireworks in Lewes and Go Fourth Lewes
During the Summer of 2017, after the State Fire Marshall notified Lewes that private fireworks would no longer be ignored or tolerated on our beaches, a group of local citizens, along with representatives from the City of Lewes, formed an organization to bring State permitted fireworks back to the city of Lewes. We believe that safe and legal fireworks along our beach is the perfect ending to the Lewes' Old Fashioned Fourth of July festivities, which include games on Second Street, a boat parade on the canal, and the Lewes Doo Dah Parade.
Fireworks on the beach are a Lewes tradition. Go Fourth Lewes was formed to make sure we would always have fireworks on Lewes Beach on the Fourth! Our first fireworks show on July 4th 2018 was a huge event and the kickoff of this new annual tradition. We fine tuned in 2019 and 2021. We are dedicated to making the fireworks show better and better every year.
Go Fourth! is managed by the Go Fourth committee, led by chairman Russ Palmer and communications chairs Paul and Debra Evalds. Mayor Ted Becker of represents the City of Lewes and Betsy Reamer represents the Lewes Chamber of Commerce. The committee also includes representatives from local law enforcement, fire, parks, and other first responders.
While we have had great cooperation, assistance, and participation from the City of Lewes, along with personal support from Mayor Ted Becker, the fireworks are not funded by the City of Lewes or any other entity. Our Donor lists on this page thank those who fund our annual fireworks, and all funding is from donations from local individuals, businesses, and organizations. Click to see our 2020-2021 supporters! Thank you for making the fireworks fly!
PLEASE, if you watch and enjoy the fireworks, then donate. This show is for the people, by the people. We need you to make the fireworks fly over the Delaware Bay!
