The Arden Fair is a beloved annual tradition held on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend in the historic village of Arden. Featuring handmade crafts, live music, food vendors, and family-friendly activities, the fair draws thousands of visitors and transforms the village into a bustling pedestrian zone for the day.

Because of the fair, the Arden Swim Club parking lot will be closed to all vehicles on Fair Day and the day before. But don’t worry — getting to the pool is still easy!

Free Off-Site Parking & Shuttle Service

We’ve arranged free parking at the YMCA Hanby Outdoor Center, located at:

35 Chestnut St, Wilmington, DE 19810

Shuttle buses will run every few minutes between the parking area and the Arden Swim Club throughout the day.

Accessibility

Guests with disabilities may be dropped off at the Orleans bus stop (located near the pool entrance), but all vehicles must be parked off-site at the Hanby Center after drop-off.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Enjoy the Fair — and don’t forget your towel!
