_ The 4th DQ Dash for Fireworks 5k & Fun Walk:

History:

During the Summer of 2017 a public-private collaboration of business owners, Lewes citizens, and representatives of the City of Lewes decided to form an organization to bring official fireworks back to the city of Lewes. We believe that safe and legal fireworks along our beach is the perfect ending to the Lewes' Old Fashioned Fourth of July festivities, which include games on Second Street, a boat parade on the canal, and the Lewes Doo Dah Parade. Fireworks on the beach are a perfect way to end this family-friendly day. Go Fourth! was formed to bring this to fruition. 
Go Fourth!
 
Go Fourth! is jointly managed by the Go Fourth! committee of volunteers, the Lewes Chamber of Commerce, and the City of Lewes. The Go Fourth! Fund donations are tax-deductible. 
Fundraising
 
Local builder Russ Palmer is again serving as the first Go Fourth! honorary chair, helping to raise funds needed for the event.   Please visit the Sponsorship page for more information or to make a donation.
