Here we are, once again, preparing for July 4th. 2023 will be our 5th Go Fourth fireworks!
Thank you for the AMAZING support for the Go Fourth Lewes community fireworks! (See video below to relive 2019!) We continue to need your support for 2023 and beyond!
Our logistics plan is pretty locked in, as things are working well.
Still, we ask everyone to review our Info and Viewing page, as we update and add more information every year.
We ask you to arrive early, stay late, walk, bike, or view from areas in town, or other higher elevations. Try lingering longer on the beach this year after the show, please!
We focus our fireworks on high aerial rockets, so great
viewing spots can also be found off the beach.

We seek help to fund the fireworks all year long and need community support to make our fireworks fly over the bay. As soon as one year is finished, we start planning for the next year and paying deposits. This a community event which is funded solely by local residents and businesses. We truly need your help. Go Fourth is sanctioned by the City of Lewes and works in cooperation with local government and services, 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!
FOR THE PEOPLE! BY THE PEOPLE!
The day ends with the Go Fourth Lewes Fireworks at dusk, but there are events all day long, all run by different groups of volunteers. We only organize the fireworks, but we love the entire day, so want to list everything in one place for the public. The schedule below details all the fun events in Lewes on July 4th.
Please Note: It is busy all day. Plan ahead and be prepared. Expect traffic and delays. Stay kind. Be happy. Let freedom ring!
Here is a roundup of 2022 area events from the Cape Gazette, in Lewes and other towns: https://www.capegazette.com/article/cape-region-celebrate-july-4-holiday/242274
The Old-Fashioned Kid's Games are a great tradition that are enjoyed by kids of all ages. The games take place on Second Street. You can't miss it! Volunteers are needed, so contact City Hall if you'd like to help. https://www.ci.lewes.de.us/
The decorated boat parade on the Canal is organized by the Overfalls and the Lewes-Rehoboth Beach Rotary Club, and it is sponsored by the Freedom Boat Club. It departs at 1:30 from the Inlet and makes its way to the bridge. Winners are announced at the Overfalls at 3:30.

The Doo-Dah is a Lewes Independence Day staple. Ask different people about the Doo-Dah and you will get different descriptions. That is what makes it amazing! Thanks to the families who started and maintain this homegrown Lewes tradition! The parade leaves from Manila Ave down Kings when organizers are ready to Doo-Dah.
