Boast the Coast, Maritime Festival

October 1, 2022 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm

The 26 th annual Boast the Coast event will take place on Saturday, October 1, 2022. Boast the Coast was conceived in 1996 to showcase Lewes’ nautical heritage and to feature activities that complemented the already long-established University of Delaware’s annual “Coast Day” event. Boast the Coast takes place annually on the first Saturday in October and Coast Day on the first Sunday in October. This year’s Boast the Coast activities are sponsored by Irish Eyes and Beebe Healthcare with partial funding from Southern Delaware Tourism.

There are a number of free activities associated with Boast the Coast taking place in 1812 Park adjacent to the City Dock on the canal from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Freedom Boat Club will offer free boat tours leaving from City Dock, also from 11a.m. – 2 p.m. There are no advance reservations for these short excursions on the canal. It will be on a first-come, first-served basis with 6-8 passengers per trip. Visitors to the park and dock will be entertained by Lewes-vocalist Jgar Helwig, who will be performing his repertoire of Broadway show tunes and other popular favorites from 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.

Other activities simultaneously taking place at the dock and in the park include a Seafood Tasting with food priced individually by Lewes-restaurant, Full Belly Bistro. Cape Water Tours is offering two, hour-long narrated tours departing from City Dock at 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. The tour, entitled “Floating Through Lewes Maritime History,” will be narrated by Marcos Salaverria, Director of Education at the Lewes Historical Society. The cost is $20/adults and $15/children under 12. Reservations are available to purchase online at www.CapeWaterTours.com.

The annual Lewes Merchants’ Fall Sidewalk Sale has long been associated with Boast the Coast. It is a three-day event, wrapped around Saturday’s Boast the Coast events, beginning on Friday, September 30 through Sunday, October 2 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The majority of the retail businesses in the Historic Lewes Business District participate.

Other events taking place on October 1 in association with Boast the Coast are the Historic Lewes Farmers Market, Overfalls Lightship deck tours, The Lewes Maritime Museum at the Cannonball House tours, Peninsula Gallery Opening Reception, Lewes Historical Society Fall Craft Fair, Cape Artists Gallery Open House and the Lewes Public Library Community Carnival.
