The City of Newark’s Parks and Recreation Department, in partnership with University of Delaware and the Christina School District, presents Community Day, the area’s premier fall festival, on Sunday, September 15, 2019 from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m.
Community Day features fun for the entire family. The Green provides the perfect outdoor venue for local musicians, groups, and vendors, as well as a variety of offerings at our food court. Fine Art and Homemade Craft vendors will be displaying and selling their creations, as well. The children’s area is always a big hit, with scarecrow-making and more. Community information booths and activities are supplied by a variety of local businesses and organizations.
In addition to these festivities, Newark Natural Foods will be hosting a Co-op Farmers Market on Delaware Avenue. Come and enjoy shopping through a variety of freshly grown fruits, vegetables, herbs and cut flowers, as well as vegan cookies, pickles, and an assortment of other natural foods! Meet with farmers and producers and support local at this year’s Newark Community Day.
Sponsors for the event include Bloom Energy, WXCY, Planet Fitness and Ferris Home Improvement.
