The One Spring Festival In Delaware That’s Worthy Of Your Bucket List Every Year

When spring arrives, it's time to plan what spring festivals in Delaware to attend this year. Did you know that Delaware has its very own Derby Day? While it's not as crowded (or expensive!) as the Kentucky Derby, Winterthur's Point to Point Steeplechase is an exciting horse race in New Castle County, and it's one of the best events in the country for a spring picnic tailgate party.

Every year on the Sunday after the Kentucky Derby, Delaware answers with an equestrian festival of its own. This festival is a must-experience during spring in Delaware.

Held on the grounds of the Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library, a thousand-acre estate in New Castle County, the Point-to-Point is a steeplechase race and a day of festivities that belongs on everyone's springtime bucket list.

The day is jam-packed with exciting events. There are four top-class steeplechase races during which you'll find the best athletes in the game racing at top speed over solid obstacles laid out over the course.

In addition to the four professional and training races, families can enjoy the Pony Races, a Foxhound Parade, a Carriage parade, and three separate stick horses races for children, divided by age category.

If you really want to do it up, you can reserve a tailgate spot or tent for you and your friends. These spots are limited and include a certain number of wristbands but they're an elevated experience that's worthy of the splurge.

As one of the best Delaware spring festivals, will you attend the Point-to-Point Steeplechase at Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library this year?
