Delaware Valley University will host its 76th Annual A-Day Fair from April 24 to 26, 2026, on the main campus in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. The event is organized and run by students and aims to highlight the university’s agricultural heritage through a variety of activities.

The fair will include livestock shows, blacksmith demonstrations, hands-on animal experiences, inflatable attractions, educational exhibits, and more. Artisans from Pennsylvania and neighboring states are expected to participate as vendors, offering handcrafted foods, home decor items, and other unique products. Food options at the event will feature offerings such as milkshakes from the Pennsylvania Dairymen’s Association.

Local vendors still have an opportunity to participate in the fair. Delaware Valley University expects nearly 10,000 attendees each year. Vendor booths provide a platform for local businesses to engage with the Bucks County community. Interested vendors can contact Isabella Anderson at adayvendors@delval.edu for more information.

Businesses interested in sponsorship can choose from packages ranging from $40 to $1,500 or more. For details about sponsorship opportunities, Ameer Awawda serves as the corporate sponsorship chair and can be reached at awawdaam5410@delval.edu.

This year’s fair will also see the return of the Antique Tractor and Truck Show. Those wishing to display vintage farming or transportation equipment can contact Steven Edwards II at edwardssj4672@deval.edu for participation details.

“From time-honored traditions to hands-on learning and family fun, A-Day continues to bring generations together while honoring the roots of agriculture in Bucks County,” according to Delaware Valley University. “Mark your calendars and join us for a weekend where education, heritage and community come together on DelVal’s campus.”
