ROCKING THE DOCKS TO HOST COASTAL DELAWARE’S FIRST HOLIDAY FIREWORKS DISPLAY ON JULY 2

Bruce in the USA to perform two full sets, with food trucks, vendors, and an epic post-show fireworks finale

LEWES, DE – For the first time ever, the skies over the Lewes Canalfront will explode in color and celebration as Rocking the Docks hosts Coastal Delaware’s inaugural July holiday fireworks show on Tuesday, July 2. This milestone event brings together an all-American rock performance, a vibrant community market, delicious food vendors, and a full-scale fireworks display in one unforgettable summer evening.

Headlining the celebration is none other than Bruce in the USA, widely regarded as the world’s top Bruce Springsteen tribute act. Known for delivering stadium-worthy energy and precision, Bruce in the USA will perform two full sets of Springsteen’s most iconic hits, from “Born to Run” to “Dancing in the Dark,” channeling the spirit and soul of The Boss himself. Whether you’re a diehard fan or a newcomer to Springsteen’s music, this performance promises a high-octane, crowd-pleasing experience.

Following the final notes of the concert, the night will crescendo with a dazzling fireworks display—marking the first time Rocking the Docks has ever hosted a pyrotechnic show, and the first official July fireworks display to hit Coastal Delaware. Visible from the entire Lewes Canalfront area, this sky-high spectacle will be the perfect kick-off to the July 4th holiday week.

Attendees can arrive early and enjoy the Rocking the Docks Vendor Market, featuring unique local artisans, makers, and merchants. Plus, an all-star lineup of food trucks will be onsite to keep bellies full and taste buds happy, including:

  • DaNizza Wood Fired Pizza
  • Shore Island Empanadas
  • Changing Mains
  • Grandpa Mac (local favorite pasta & mac and cheese)
  • Cup R Cone Homemade Ice Cream
  • Pretzelvania (hand-twisted soft pretzels and snacks)

Whether you’re here for the music, the food, the fireworks—or all three—this is an event for the entire community. VIP gates open at 5:00 PM for premium ticket holders, offering early access to the venue and food trucks. General Admission gates open at 5:30 PM, with music starting shortly after and building all night toward the explosive finale.

Tickets are available now at www.rockingthedockslewes.com, and advance purchase is strongly encouraged. This is expected to be one of the most highly attended shows of the season.

Rocking the Docks has become a signature part of summer in Lewes, bringing national touring acts, local food, and waterfront views to the heart of the community. This year, we’re taking things to a whole new level.

Don’t miss the first-ever July 2 fireworks on the coast. Let’s Rock the Docks—and then light up the night sky.
