Annual Bethany Beach Jazz Funeral

The family-friendly Bethany Beach Jazz Funeral will be celebrated on Labor Day Weekend on Sunday, September 2nd, 2019 at 5:00 p.m. at the North end of the Bethany Beach Boardwalk. In this tradition since 1985, the “Friends of Summer” mourn the passing of the summer tourist season at Bethany Beach. This event is free to the public. Costumes are encouraged!

The procession includes the New Orleans-styled bands Dixie Cats, the Downtown Dixieland Band, and the Jazz Funeral Irregulars.
