Sunrise fest

Welcome to Sunrise Fest, where every ray of sunshine is a spotlight on fun, music, and the irresistible allure of summer! This isn't just another festival; it's the summer kickoff to your most unforgettable summer yet, starting with our sensational inaugural theme: The Rhythm and Rhinestone Edition.

Schellville will become a place where summer gear meets the dazzling world of rhinestones, sparkles, and everything shiny! Think cowboy hats catching the sunlight, disco balls reflecting the joy of the crowd, and a whole place turned into a dance floor of light and music.

This year, we're bringing the rhythm of the beach to life with an incredible lineup of performers. Get ready to groove with local sensations Anna Burgess and Cecilia Grace, whose beautiful voices and melodies capture the essence of shine and sparkle! But that's just the beginning. We're thrilled to feature, for the 1st time in the Delaware coastal area, the stellar talent of Nashville's rising star, Karen Waldrup—with a special spotlight on Karen as she dazzles the nation on NBC's The Voice. Her voice isn't just heard; its felt, resonating with the heartbeat of summer itself.

Then as an extra special treat, from Wilmington,De , the ever so amazing Olivia Rubini!! She is also currently on NBC's The Voice, and will certainly be bringing her bright vibe and soulful voice to the stage that day! 

But wait, there's more! Held in the picturesque Schellville, Sunrise Fest offers more than just music. Experience the thrill of summer sledding on our tubing hill, wander through the creativity of local artisans, and take a nostalgic ride on the Summer Express Train. Hungry? Our array of food trucks will satisfy any craving, and for those looking to add a bit more sparkle to their festival look, our face painters are ready with glitter paint to make you shine.

Sunrise Fest is more than a festival; it's a celebration of summer's return, a gathering of music lovers, adventurers, and anyone who believes that life is better with a bit of sparkle. So don your most dazzling summer outfit, and join us for a day (and night) of music, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

Mark your calendars for the most sparkling kick-off to summer at Schellville. Let's make this summer shine brighter than ever at Sunrise Fest!
