The Annual Opening Party held each May, signifies the opening of the Overfalls for another year of tours, education and maintenance. But this is more than a party. It has become Lewes' hottest social event to kick off the season with silent and live auctions of art work, clothing, trinkets, jewelry, local services, etc donated by the Lewes community.
