City Life and Culture

Downtown Delaware retains a charming small-town atmosphere. Businesses and storefronts along Sandusky Street have preserved the former architecture of flat-front brick buildings with small awnings fluttering over the sidewalks. Local events attract the Delaware community downtown, like First Friday events and the Farmers Market. Residents can leave their mark downtown by leaving an engraved brick along the main street.
