NEW! For the first time ever, join us at Rail Haus on October 4th from 3 PM – 8 PM!
- A new addition to the Colonial Market Fair will be the first ever Tavern Night, featuring authentic colonial music from the Enslows, 18th century brewing demonstrations from the Colonial Brewmeister, historic interpreters, and a Tavern Talk from the Delaware Public Archives.
- This event is FREE to the public, but we encourage everyone to purchase food and drink from Rail Haus to support the local business.
Colonial Market Fair brings the colonial past to life in this annual, highly-anticipated special event! Walk the ground where 18th century Doverites went to market, browsing among historic trade demonstrators, local and regional vendors selling their food and wares, and talented performers sweeping you back through the centuries. This event is FREE to attend, so we hope you’ll consider spending the day with us on a true historical adventure! With dozens of market stalls, demonstrations and performers, we recommend setting aside several hours for your visit. Please also wear good walking shoes and dress for the weather!
