Bethany Beach is known as the quiet beach resort... until the occasional a jazz funeral pops up, anyway.
Bring your basic black dress and Gucci shades to mourn the passing of summer, with two special events. A silent auction on Friday, Aug. 31 from 2:20 to 4:30 p.m. will offer up chartered boat rides, massages, house cleanings, gift baskets, and more. All proceeds with benefit the American Cancer Society and their Relay For Life program.
The main event -- the Bethany Beach Jazz Funeral -- is set for Monday, Sept. 3 at 5:30 p.m. Summer's death will be honored by the Dixie Cats, the Downtown Dixieland Band and the Jazz Funeral Irregulars.
Both the auction and jazz funeral will be held at the Bethany Blues Restaurant (6 N. Pennsylvania Ave., Bethany Beach, Del.), about three hours from D.C.
