Jul 20 – Jul 29: Delaware State Fair

Visit the Delaware State Fair July 20-29, 2006 and enjoy 87 Years of Family Fun!

It all began as an idea quietly conceived around a potbelly stove in the Harrington railroad station in 1919. Today, the Kent and Sussex County Fair is formally known as the Delaware State Fair and boasts attendance of over 307,000. As it exists today, the nearly 300 acre fairground encompasses several businesses including The Centre Ice Rink, the Harrington Raceway, Inc., and the Midway Slots & Simulcast. Despite the awesome trend of bringing dynamic entertainers and a thrilling carnival, the Fair maintains its roots in agriculture. And every year, the Fair continues its tradition of being “Bigger and Better Than Ever.”
