DELAWARE STATE FAIRÂ
The 2023 Delaware State Fair is officially open in Harrington. The concert lineup includes Nelly on Friday, Vanilla Ice on Saturday, and Jackson Dean on Sunday.Â
According to the Delaware State Fair, each year, the Junior Livestock Auction continues the tradition that began 104 years ago by giving back to the youth participating in the livestock program at the fair.
The Department of Agriculture has a daily cooking demo at the fair that's based around Delaware farms. It takes place at 2 p.m. at the new Delaware Agriculture Education Center.
From farm animals to farm foods and fairground rides, the fair is open through July 29.
