Main Street Delaware is gearing up for a set of enchanting events that promise to bring the community together in celebration. These events are not only a testament to the town’s vibrant community spirit but also offer unique opportunities for residents and visitors alike to immerse themselves in the festive atmosphere. Let’s explore two of the standout events slated for this December.

The Magic of the Annual Christmas Parade

  • Date: Sunday, December 3
  • Time: 3:00 PM
  • Location: Begins at Mingo Park, travels down Sandusky Street to Wilmer Street

The streets of downtown Delaware will come alive with the Annual Christmas Parade, an event that encapsulates the joy and wonder of the holiday season. This much-anticipated parade, stepping off from Mingo Park at 3:00 PM, will meander its way down Sandusky Street all the way to Wilmer Street, creating a spectacle of lights, music, and holiday cheer.

A Special Delivery to Santa

An exciting feature of the parade is the opportunity for children to send their letters to Santa Claus. Santa’s helpers, collaborating with the local Post Office, will be part of the parade, ready to collect letters from eager young attendees. It’s a magical touch, ensuring that every child’s wishes reach Santa in time for Christmas. Parents are reminded to include a legible return address in their children’s letters for a special chance to receive a reply from Santa himself.

Community Support and Acknowledgments

The parade is made possible thanks to the generous support of community investors and sponsors. A special mention goes to Trimble Insurance, the parade’s primary sponsor, whose contribution is invaluable in bringing this festive event to life.

Discover Local Treasures at the Holiday Maker’s Market

Date: Thursday, December 14 Time: 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM Location: 17 N Sandusky Street (Indoors)

For those looking to find unique gifts and support local artisans, the Holiday Maker’s Market is an unmissable event. Located indoors at 17 N Sandusky Street, this pop-up market is the perfect destination for last-minute holiday shopping. Open from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, it offers a cozy and festive shopping experience.

A Showcase of Local Talent

The market features a diverse range of products from local crafters, creators, and artists. It’s an excellent opportunity for shoppers to find one-of-a-kind gifts while supporting the local creative community. From handmade crafts to unique artworks, the range of items available promises something for everyone.

Gratitude to Sponsors and Community Partners

The Holiday Maker’s Market is another example of community-driven success, with thanks extended to its sponsors including COhatch, Opa Grill & Tavern, Fidelity Federal Savings & Loan, and GOAT Local. Their support highlights the strong community bonds and the collaborative spirit that thrives in Delaware.
