Deltarado Days,July 16 through 19, is a great four-day community celebration in Delta. Saturday, the main day of the annual festival, is packed full of activities.

There is just something special about small-town festivals and celebrations. It seems like everybody knows everybody, there is community-wide participation, and it really brings the community together. Even if you aren't from Delta, you are welcome to take in many of the fun events this weekend at Deltarado Days.
