Things Could Seem a Bit Different In Rehoboth Beach for the Next Four Years, At Least When Biden is in Town January 7, 2021
As you’ve probably noticed, there isn’t a whole lot going on in the area now that the cold weather has eliminated outdoor gatherings and COVID-19 health mandates have seriously limited most indoor get-togethers.
It makes continuing our weekly events blog, which has run nonstop for several years now, a bit harder to manage. But when there’s a will, there’s a way right?
So what we’ve decided we’re going to do for the next few weeks, except when there’s something major to talk about (like the virtual Polar Bear Plunge in a few weeks), is to just look ahead.
A holiday display in the bandstand on Rehoboth Beach’s boardwalk is at the center of a federal lawsuit.
The bandstand, located on Rehoboth Avenue in the Delaware beach resort, has been the site of Christmas displays over the years.
In 2018, when the local Knights of Columbus erected a nativity display inside the bandstand, the city told them to remove it.
According to the Knights, Rehoboth’s mayor at the time told them “singular displays of this sort (referring to the crèche,) are more appropriately placed on private property.”
After two winter holiday seasons without a religious display in the Rehoboth bandstand, the Knights filed a federal lawsuit, claiming religious discrimination.
