A Night to Remember – ShakesBEER at the Fort

There’s something truly magical about a summer evening at Fort DuPont—especially when it includes laughter, literature, and a crisp pint in hand. Our latest ShakesBEER at the Fort event brought together a vibrant mix of community members, theater lovers, and craft beer enthusiasts for an unforgettable night.

With 52 attendees gathered on the historic lawn under a clear sky, the event struck a perfect chord. Guests sipped local brews and enjoyed a lively performance of Shakespeare that blended classic drama with modern-day humor and energy. For many, it was their first time experiencing live theater in such a casual, open-air setting—and the response was overwhelmingly positive.

The backdrop of Fort DuPont, with its rich history and peaceful natural surroundings, provided the ideal stage. Families brought blankets and lawn chairs, old friends reconnected, and newcomers discovered a hidden gem of Delaware’s cultural scene.

Food trucks added to the festive atmosphere, offering everything from savory street food to sweet treats. The evening closed with applause, laughter, and a chorus of “When’s the next one?”

We’re proud to offer events that celebrate both our heritage and our community spirit. If you missed this round of ShakesBEER, don’t worry—we’re already planning for the next performance. We hope you’ll be there to raise a glass with us again soon!
