Question 1

Why do you require a signed liability waiver?

Accepted Answer

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.

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.
