Pride floats best on the bay.

Every year, on the Sunday that tees up Labor Day Weekend, Rehoboth Bay Pride turns the sandbar off Massey's Landing into a technicolor playground. With the Indian River Bridge standing guard on the horizon, boats raft together, rainbow flags stake the tide-kissed shore, and we raise one big, sun-splashed toast to the bay that's carried our summer stories.

It's one carefree day where merfolk, land-lubbers, families, and fabulous mischief-makers (+ pets) all drop anchor, crank the playlists, and let Pride ripple across the water. Claim your patch of sand, glitter up your sunscreen, and celebrate the simple truth that fun — and love — float best when everyone's invited.

What Goes Down

One day, all on the water. Here's the vibe.

🌈

The Rainbow Raft Up

Hundreds of boats, kayaks, pontoons and floaties tie together into one giant floating block party on the bay. Bring your vessel, find the crew, drop anchor.

Music on the Water
