The St. Mary Festival began in 1998 and has grown into an event for the whole Delaware community. Inspired by the mission of family, fellowship and fun, the spring festival provides an enjoyable environment for all ages. The goal of the spring festival is to provide a rewarding experience for all who attend or participate. The spring festival is the largest single-event fundraiser for St. Mary Parish. Proceeds from the spring festival have benefited both church and school by providing funds for playground equipment and emergency repairs to the church and parish facilities.
The St. Mary Catholic Church is located at 82 East William Street – at the intersection with Henry Street – in Delaware, Ohio.
