Piping Out!

Piping Out is a Rehoboth Tradition originated in the mid- to late-1950s by the late bandleader and trombonist Sammy Ferro whose orchestra played for dances held at the old Henlopen Hotel. At the last dance of the summer on Labor Day, Ferro would take his band “to the boards” followed by his audience, and then lead a spontaneous musical parade down the Boardwalk to the vicinity of Rehoboth Avenue.
