Delco Day – June 10, 2016 – Upper Darby
Where it began. Delco personalities realized their beloved area code, is also a date on the calendar (6/10). Start small, handle what you can. Five acts filled a small bar on West Chester Pike with the goal of raising funds for a local near and dear charity, Vest-a-Cop. $6.10 entrance fee. $1,400 raised
Delco Day 2 – June 10, 2017 – Morton
Growing. The goal was to double the success of the previous event. Tagged as “Delco Harder”, the repertoire grew to 10 acts, on two rotating stages. A full 12 hours party, from lunch to last call. Delconians flocked to Morton Ave to support the same charity as 2016. $6.10 entrance fee. $3,800 raised
Delco Day III – June 9, 2018 – Prospect Park, PA
The next level. The first event under the Delco Live moniker. Officially recognized as a State Holiday by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Two outdoor and one indoor stage. Four bars. Bloomed into 15 acts, plus a countdown to midnight to ring in 6/10 like it was a County wide New Years. Delco Day found a home that day at Marty Magee’s Irish Pub. It also found a new cause, The HeadStrong Foundation. $6.10 entrance fee. $11,000 raised
Delco Day 4 – June 1, 2019 – Prospect Park, PA
Comfortable but not complacent. Similar formula to the 2018 shindig. Three stages, a myriad of local vendors, and even a renewal of wedding vows. Renewed as a State Holiday. Thousands packed Lincoln Ave to celebrate what this County is. $6.10 entrance fee. $16,000 raised for HeadStrong Foundation
Delco Day V – June 10, 2020 – Worldwide
Waiting. Due to the Global Pandemic, and restrictions on public gatherings, Delco Day V was put on hold, and eventually altered to a series of smaller online vignettes to bring awareness to the needs of the HeadStrong Foundation. The goal was to return the next year, with a vengeance.
Delco Day 6 – June 12, 2021 – Prospect Park, PA
The return. As COVID restrictions were only loosened 60 days before June 10 (12th), it was a mad dash to get everything organized for the event. It returned to Marty Magee’s, as did hundreds of Delco faithful, to once again celebrate this county, and support HeadStrong. Delco Live put together an entire fleet of performers, acts, and vendors in record time, and threw the best welcome back party the Delaware Valley has ever seen. Slightly limited due to timing and the global situation, still $6.10 entrance fee, $14,500 raised for HeadStrong, who needed it more than ever
Delco Day 7 – June 11, 2022 – Prospect Park, PA
Back to the beginning. Delco Day is to celebrate Delco, with the goal of assisting Delco. This year, instead of raising money and awareness for the HeadStrong Foundation, we will be working WITH the HeadStrong Foundation to procure funds for a singular, special recipient and their family that is currently in a battle against childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. 15 acts, local vendors, the best County doing its best. Always recession proof, $6.10 entrance fee. Game on. See you June 11th. 2pm-2am
