Since 1980, Delaware City Day has been a day of celebration and family-friendly fun, honoring our riverfront town’s historic architecture and our “small town America” culture. This will ultimately foster the continued preservation of Delaware City’s place in history, now and in the future.

This year, Delaware City will be honoring its 200th year with special Bicentennial celebrations throughout 2026, including on Delaware City Day.

The Delaware City Day festivities are held in Historic Delaware City along the waterfront in Battery Park at the foot of Clinton Street overlooking Fort Delaware and the Delaware River on the first Saturday of October.
