Delaware festival canceled for 2nd year amid pandemic

DOVER, Del. — One of Delaware’s largest free festivals has been canceled for the second year in a row due to coronavirus health concerns.

The Delaware ²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ Journal reports that Dover Days Festival organizers expect the annual event to return in 2022.

The festival celebrates the state’s heritage and history with Colonial-themed activities. It features parades, maypole dancing, hot-air balloon rides and war reenactment groups.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the only other times the festival was canceled was during World War II.
