The Dewey Business Partnership held its annual Arts & Fun Festival May 10, in the Rusty Rudder parking lot on Dickinson Avenue bayside.
The festival featured about 50 vendors selling art, photography, jewelry, food, clothing and other merchandise. There was also live music by Mark Luckenbill.
Dewey residents and visitors of all ages stopped by to shop. Many brought their dogs, as the event coincided with the town’s Golden Jubilee, a celebration of golden retrievers.
The Dewey Beach Police Department and beach patrol had informational booths, and folks could purchase dog licenses.
There were also craft tables and a chalk art competition for the kids, and Rehoboth Elementary School students’ art was on display for all to enjoy.
