NIGHTLIFE

Sundance is in its 23rd year in Rehoboth Beach.

Sundance set Sept. 4-5
in Rehoboth Beach

Sundance 2010, Rainbow Rites 23, Rainbow Revival is the benefit event’s 23rd year and is primed to be its best. With all the lights, action and cameras - not to mention food, fun and hot music, this is the way to make summer last well into September.

The two-day extravaganza includes silent and live auctions, dinner, drinks and fun from 7 to 10 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 4; followed by a massive dance party with phenomenal DJ, lights and sound from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m., Sunday, Sept. 5, at the Rehoboth Beach Convention Center. It brings together thousands of attendees and raises much-needed funds for its sponsoring organization, CAMP Rehoboth.

Sizzling décor new every year by artist and CAMP President Murray Archibald, installed by a trusted band of longtime volunteers, transforms the convention center.

Tickets are on sale now at CAMP Rehoboth, 37 Baltimore Ave., by calling 227-5620 or online at camprehoboth.com. Individually, tickets are $45 per event, but $80 for both events.

In addition to dream vacations, original art and jewelry in the auctions, there will be a 1967 Rolls Royce Shadow, a teak and granite outdoor kitchen , an Olivia cruise for two and a flat-panel 3D TV.

For the dance party, music is by DJ Mark Thomas, with light design by Paul Turner.

One of the unique aspects of Sundance is that the entire event is paid for by the contributions of sponsors, supporters and the host committee.

This allows 100 percent of the money from the sale of tickets and auction items to go to the beneficiaries.

From $6,400 raised the first year to $125,000 raised in 2009, Sundance provides a large part of the operating budget for CAMP Rehoboth.

Boney James returns to Rehoboth Beach Autumn Jazz Friday, Oct. 15, at the convention center.
