Every year on Halloween Weekend, the town of Rehoboth Beach turns into a Halloween Wonderland! The Sea Witch Festival has been a Rehoboth tradition for as long as anyone can remember, and it’s by far the most enchanting, magical Halloween festival in Delaware
The entire weekend is full of Halloween fun! The signature event is the hunt for the Sea Witch, which begins at 1 p.m. on Saturday. Pick up your list of more than 100 clues and try to track down the hidden Sea Witch. You have until 5 p.m. to find her, and winners are announced on Sunday at the Bandstand.
The parade kicks off at 11 a. m. on Saturday, October 28, 2017, starting with the walkers. Prizes are awarded for the best costumes in several different categories.
