Attention all wine, food, and music lovers! The 9th Annual Southern Delaware Wine, Food, & Music Festival is happening Saturday, May 3, 2025 at Schellville in Rehoboth Beach, DE. The new date follows a postponement from October 2024 and was announced by President and Festival founder, Stacy LaMotta.

“I am thrilled and grateful to once again present this award-winning festival for our community,” said LaMotta. “Thank you to everyone who is helping to make the festival possible and was supportive of the decision to postpone last year’s event. This year’s festival at Schellville will continue the tradition of being truly amazing and representative of what our beloved Delaware coastal area has to offer.”

The event will feature over 20 local restaurants and 100 tastes of wine, cocktails, craft beer, mocktails and live music.

Since 2015, LaMotta’s Southern Delaware Wine, Food, & Music Festival has brought thousands of individuals together to celebrate the culinary excellence and passionate community of Delaware’s beloved beach coast, raising over $250,000 to support area nonprofits.

Sussex County Habitat for Humanity and the Harry K Foundation are the beneficiaries for this year’s event. The Healthy Homes Initiative at Sussex County Habitat for Humanity has served over 2,500 individuals in Sussex County through home construction and preservation, home repairs, financial literacy and energy efficient upgrades. The Harry K Foundation delivers several programs dedicated to eliminating hunger and food insecurities among children in Delaware. Since 2013, the Foundation has established and funded 52 pantries in schools and sponsored the School Backpack program to provide over 630 children with food for weekends, holidays, and summer break.
