July 20th – 27th: Delaware City Day, DCM: Grand Adventures, Chief Quiet Thunder, and The Muppets

Delaware City Day

Since 1980 the Delaware City Day Celebration has been a full day of fun family entertainment.

This will ultimately foster the continued preservation of Delaware City’s place in history, now and in the future. Battery Park, Delaware City, July 21st, 11 A.M.
