April 9 - April 12
Rehoboth Beach usually screams “summer party,” but the real magic actually starts a bit earlier. CAMP Rehoboth Women’s+ FEST kicks off the season with a massive four-day celebration. This isn’t your grandmother’s tea party. Instead, the event creates a vibrant gathering designed to bring women and gender-diverse folks together for connection and a whole lot of fun.
Since its start in 2001, the event has outgrown its early days as a simple conference. Over time, it has transformed into a full-scale festival that takes over the town. Today, CAMP Rehoboth Women’s+ FEST welcomes cis and trans women, nonbinary people, and anyone who connects with the feminine spirit. Consequently, the atmosphere feels intentionally inclusive. This is a community that genuinely shows up for one another.
What’s on the Agenda?
Programming throughout the long weekend packs a punch without overwhelming the schedule. Workshops and panels provide space to reflect on meaningful topics. However, the social side often steals the spotlight. Attendees compete on the pickleball court, test their skills at cornhole, or head out for golf. Furthermore, casual meetups frequently turn into long meals filled with laughter and new friendships.
Importantly, CAMP Rehoboth Women’s+ FEST has built a reputation for creating real connection. Many people arrive solo and leave with a full contact list. Because the event prioritizes community over spectacle, it feels approachable rather than intimidating.
Entertainment at CAMP Rehoboth Women’s+ FEST
Entertainment remains a major highlight. This year, the festival features standout performances by Mina Hartong and Yoli Mayor. Mina Hartong, the creative force behind Lez Out Loud, delivers sharp, personal comedy that feels smart and deeply relatable. At the same time, Yoli Mayor brings powerful vocals and emotional depth. Often called “The Cuban Adele,” she blends Latin-Pop soul with raw intensity. Therefore, expect performances that linger long after the lights go down.
Timing also plays a key role. The festival bridges the gap between winter and the high summer season. As a result, Rehoboth Beach feels relaxed rather than crowded. You get coastal charm without elbow-to-elbow chaos.
Ultimately, CAMP Rehoboth Women’s+ FEST feels like a reunion wrapped in a celebration. It balances fresh energy with beloved tradition. The weekend offers joy without overload and meaning without heaviness. If you need a reason to visit Delaware, this festival delivers a very good one.
