About the Bash

This is the seventh year that Jack Markell -- first as Treasurer, then as Governor of Delaware -- has hosted the Annual Summer Bash. In 2009 the Annual Summer Bash (ASB) became a fundraiser for the Food Bank of Delaware. All proceeds from the Bash go to the Food Bank of Delaware, an amazing non-profit that needs our help.

And wow, the musical talent we have enjoyed over the years! We have rocked to the sounds of Grammy winner Pam Tillis, Grammy nominees Deborah Allen and Becky Hobbs, and Delaware favorites Todd Chappelle and Love Seed Mama Jump. This year will feature Grammy winner Billy Dean, a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

The Annual Summer Bash 2007 & 2009

As always at the Annual Summer Bash the food will be to die for, thanks to the Food Bank of Delaware's Executive Chef Noah Mathay. Dogfish Head Beer -- the Official Brew of the Bash -- and non-alcoholic beverages will also be provided.

The Seventh Annual Summer Bash will be at noon on Saturday, June 5, 2010 at 313 Walnut Street, Milton, Delaware.

This gala has become a signature event in Delaware, drawing crowds topping 800. As always, the Annual Summer Bash is a low-dollar, family & friends, environmentally-conscious event, held under a big-top tent in historic Milton.

For only $25 you can:

Visit with Billy Dean, Gov. Jack Markell and other notables
Enjoy gourmet food and cool drinks
Be treated to a world-class musical concert
And boost the Food Bank of Delaware's efforts to distribute up to 12 million pounds of food per year
