Sock Hop at Rehoboth Beach Museum

This event date has passed.

Members and friends of the Rehoboth Beach Historical Society are invited to step back in time to Rehoboth Beach in the 1950s and 1960s by attending a Sock Hop on Saturday, September 29 from 7 – 10 pm at the Rehoboth Beach Museum.
Local teens once delighted in the summertime Wednesday night “boardwalk dances” held at the foot of Rehoboth Avenue, and the colder-weather “sock hops” held in the high school cafeteria. Year round, Snyder’s soda fountain shop on the Avenue was the place to be. As a local hang out for several generations, cherry and vanilla cokes and the house specialty “Bon Bons” are unforgettable sweet treats synonymous with Snyder’s.
Participants are encouraged to wear their dancing shoes (or go boardwalk barefoot style) and dance to oldie selections spun by a local DJ. Requests will be taken. Attendance is limited. There is no admission fee, but donations will be accepted and appreciated. The museum is located at 511 Rehoboth Avenue. Please call the Museum at 302-227-7310 to reserve your spot.
