Opening postponed

 

Gates did not open at 3 p.m. Thursday for the Firefly Music Festival, as flood advisories are issued for the area. “Camping tollbooths, including RV and infield glamping, will (remain) closed at this time,” officials said in a notification to app users. “Please continue to seek shelter at a permanent structure such as a local business, Dover Mall, or Dover Downs Hotel & Casino.”
