Event Summary
More than 1,500 people enjoyed the best food, shopping, cocktails and music that Delaware has to offer at the Best of Delaware Party, held July 25, 2013. Aisles bursting with award-winning fare from nearly 100 of the area’s top restaurants, boutiques, salons and other local businesses filled Dover Downs Hotel & Casino’s Rollins Center. Guests danced the night away to award-winning party band, Jellyroll, and rubbed elbows with local celebs. We always look forward to partying with the best. Next year, we hope that includes you!
