SATURDAY, JUNE 7

CAMP Rehoboth will travel to Washington, DC to participate in the WorldPride Parade!  We are excited to join in the parade to show off our Pride. You can choose how to participate, whether you purchase a seat on the bus, be in the parade, or both. See below for more details about the bus and the parade. There are separate signups for the bus and parade.  Given the scale and anticipated extra visitors to Washington, DC, bus and parade details are still being finalized.  All details will be provided to registered attendees via email after we receive our parade assignments and reporting times.  The below information is to assist in pre-planning.

Bus Details:

• Key Times:

• Estimated Bus departure from Rehoboth/Lewes area: 8:30 AM; attendees will be asked to arrive no later than 15 minutes before scheduled departure

• Estimated Bus departure from DC: 9:00 PM

• Estimated arrival back to Rehoboth/Lewes area: midnight

• Locations:

• In Rehoboth/Lewes area, a designated parking area where cars may be left will be established

• In Washington, DC, the drop off/pickup location will be in Washington, DC proper, but will likely differ so please be prepared to use Metro or other means to meet at the bus locations. To determine locations, we will first follow the guidance of the officials/authorities but our current aim is to deboard the bus closer to the parade meetup location (U Street area) and in the evening to board the bus closer to the street festival location (Pennsylvania Avenue)

• Refund Policy: Tickets are non-refundable. If you can't make it, be sweet and give it to a friend.

Additional Bus FAQs

Do I need to participate in the parade if I take the bus?

No. Please let us know your plans at checkout.

Can I change my mind about attending?

Bus tickets are non refundable.  For the parade, you may join/drop from the Parade up to the date of June 2.  After this date the parade roster will be set so we can communicate parade details to the organizers before June 7.

Will I be able to see all the performances at the Festival?

Likely no. The exact times of the schedule are to be finalized. In past years the last performance has ended close to 10 P.M., so after the bus will have already departed.
