Breakfast with Elvis! at the Starboard - Dewey Beach
THE TRADITION CONTINUES! After 25 years of "Breakfast with Elvis" every Sunday for the past 25 years (17 years in a row without missing a Sunday at the Starboard!) Covid brought the streak to an end - BUT it continues monthly from May to August plus Starboard Opening Night in March. Yes, it has had to "evolve" over the years (maybe a few less shots of G.M. and a little less craziness), but it is still some great Elvis music, family pictures, toasts, celebrations, and everything but the bodyshots you loved about 30 minutes of Breakfast With Elvis for the past 30 years!
Saturday evenings, March 8th @ 7pm in the bar, May 10th @ 6pm on deck, July 12th @ 6pm on the deck, Sept. 13th @ 6pm on the deck (all of these "on the deck" gigs are subject to the weather and may be moved inside if necessary) and Nov. 15th at 7pm in the bar!

A beautiful setting on the deck overlooking the Marina on the West River or from the Bar area inside, great food and atmosphere combined with F,E&R makes for a night of entertainment the area only gets to see 6 times per year.

Did you know?
about Reverend Raines, the ordained minister?
Yes, he is an ordained minister who has performed hundreds of weddings, vow renewals and other services, in a variety of manners. From respectful non-sectarian religious or non-religious ceremonies, to Elvis performing a service catering to your needs (religious to respectful to humorous to out-&-out gaudy). He has legally performed weddings in Delaware (he is registered with Sussex County), the District of Columbia (where he is a registered clergy), Maryland (at sites all over the state including the flag court at Camden Yards) and Pennsylvania.
