DELAWARE — Delaware residents and visitors alike had their pride on full display at the 2026 Delaware Ohio Pride Festival.

Delaware Ohio Pride started in 2019 as an organization, but the first festival did not come until 2021, which took place at Ross Park.

This year’s festival found its home at Delaware’s quirkiest park, Boardman Arts Park, and persisted even after late morning thunderstorms threatened to shut it down.
