Why do you require a signed liability waiver?

We require a signed liability waiver to ensure all participants acknowledge the risks of attending a beach bonfire. This confirms compliance with local safety regulations, including alcohol and noise restrictions. By signing, you accept responsibility and agree to follow guidelines for a safe and enjoyable event.

Is there a cap on attendance for Bonfires?

Yes. If your bonfire exceeds 24 people, the Town of Dewey Beach requires an Events Permit in addition to the Bonfire Permit. This adds $50 to the cost.

How long is my bonfire?

Bonfires can start as early as 5:30pm and must be cleaned up by 11pm, per town regulations. We typically wrap up by 10:30pm.

Can I bring food or party decorations to my bonfire?

Yes! You're welcome to bring decorations and food, but you're responsible for setup and cleanup. We also offer add-ons like chairs, ambient lighting, and games.

Can my dog come to my bonfire?

Yes. Dogs are allowed after 5pm but must have a Dewey Beach license. Be sure to clean up after them to avoid fines.

Can I drink alcohol on the beach?

Alcohol and glass containers are strictly prohibited on the beach between May 15 and September 15.

Can I have a band perform at my bonfire?

No, live bands and performances are not allowed on the beach in Dewey Beach at any time.

Can I purchase firewood from you?

Wood is included with your bonfire booking. We do not sell wood separately.

Do you travel outside Dewey Beach?

No. Our services are limited to within the town limits of Dewey Beach.

Why do you need my email and phone number?

We use email to manage all pre-bonfire correspondence. Phone numbers are only used on the day of your event to help us locate you on the beach.

What do I do after submitting a deposit or booking online?

You must arrive at the start time confirmed by email. We cannot leave bonfires unattended and often manage multiple events in one evening.

What if I need to cancel?

You must notify us at least 36 hours before your scheduled bonfire to receive a refund. Same-day cancellations and no-shows are non-refundable.

What if I need to reschedule?

We can accommodate rescheduling based on availability. We'll work with you if your original location or time is already booked.

What if there is bad weather?

We offer refunds or rescheduling if you notify us in advance. If you choose to proceed despite bad weather and it rains, we cannot offer a refund.

How much does a Dewey Beach bonfire cost?

Prices vary by package, add-ons, and dates. Most bonfires start around $350. View full pricing on our booking page.

Are Dewey Beach bonfires private or shared?

Bonfires are held on public beaches, but your reservation is fully private. If you book a location, it’s yours for the evening.

Do you offer corporate bonfire events or team-building nights?

Yes. We provide private bonfires for companies and teams with full setup and optional extras. From small groups to large events, we make it memorable.

How do your Dewey Beach bonfire rentals work?

1. Select your preferred date, time, and location — we’ll handle the permit. 2. We set up everything including firewood, seating, and games. 3. We handle cleanup so you can leave stress-free.

Why choose Dewey Beach Bonfires?

Our bonfire packages include permit handling, full setup, and cleanup. They're perfect for birthdays, family nights, anniversaries, or corporate events. Custom add-ons like chairs, lighting, and games are also available.
