REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. — Business owners in downtown Rehoboth Beach are asking the city to re-examine how it manages the popular Bandstand Summer Concert Series, citing concerns about parking shortages, limited street access, and disruptions to customer traffic during busy weekends.
The concerns were raised during a recent meeting of the Downtown Advisory Task Force, hosted by the Rehoboth Beach–Dewey Beach Chamber of Commerce with support from city officials. The meeting included City Manager Taylour Tedder, Chamber staff, and several business representatives from the downtown area. A Chamber-issued survey was circulated to businesses ahead of the meeting. It asked about how frequently concerts should be held, how crowds are affecting foot traffic and access, and whether any operational changes might help balance tourism with business needs. “The feedback we received was extremely helpful,” said Tedder. “There were a lot of solution-oriented suggestions presented to us, and we are taking it all into consideration as we look to our Bandstand scheduling moving forward.”

The Bandstand Summer Concert Series is one of Rehoboth Beach’s signature attractions. Held on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings from Memorial Day through Labor Day, the concerts are free to the public and draw as many as 1,500 attendees per night. While popular with visitors, the crowds often fill nearby lots and tie up streets that businesses say are critical for customer parking and delivery access. City officials have not announced any specific changes but said they will use the survey results and business input to guide future planning. No timeline for decisions has been set, though officials said the public will be kept informed.
