Poseidon Fest/EMS Day

The Town of Bethany Beach is teaming up with its Volunteer Fire Company to offer a special day of awareness on Saturday, May 21st, 2016 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.  According to Greek mythology, Poseidon was the Sea God who protected sailors but also created chaos if angered.  The first annual Poseidon Fest/EMS Day is a way for the community to celebrate the sea while learning about ways to prepare for potential coastal emergencies. 
 
EMS Day has been the fire company’s annual open house at the Fire House (Route 1 and Hollywood Street) that offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse of how emergency responders protect and serve the public.  The Town is supporting the event by providing island- inspired entertainment at the Bandstand and Nature Center (807 Garfield Parkway) and handing out Emergency Preparedness booklets. 
 
This free, community-wide event will feature vendors and family-friendly exhibits including area EMS units and hospitals, DEMA, Red Cross; antique and contemporary fire trucks and emergency vehicles; helicopter landings on the church grounds; bike safety demonstrations; coloring and sand art activities; t-shirt giveaways.  Bethany Blues will also be on site.
 
There will be an interactive drum circle by Nancy the Drum Lady at 10:30 on the Bandstand and the Trinidad and Tobago Baltimore Steel Band performs at noon.  The Nature Center will host a mermaid scavenger hunt.  Anyone dressed in a sea-related costume will get a prize.
 
Come back to the Bandstand at dusk for a special preview of the movie “Flipper”.
