Heacook Fest — Delmar Weekend Celebration

Heacook Fest is scheduled for Friday, April 24, at Kylan Barn in Delmar, with music, food, vendors and free admission tied to a fundraiser honoring a fallen Delmar police officer. (kylanbarn.com) (heacookfest.com) Festival Guides and Reviews lists Heacook Fest on April 24 in Delmar in its 2026 Delaware festival calendar, and Bandsintown lists The Amish Outlaws at Kylan Barn that same day. (festivalguidesandreviews.com) (bandsintown.com) The venue’s event calendar shows Heacook Fest from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. on April 24 at Kylan Barn, 30603 Dusty Lane, Delmar, while Patch’s local event listings place Heacook Fest 2026 at Kylan Barn at 7:30 p.m. that night. (kylanbarn.com) (patch.com) The event is built around the memory of Delmar Police Cpl. Keith Heacook, who was killed in the line of duty in April 2021. Organizers say the festival was created to keep his memory alive and support law enforcement and first responders. (wmdt.com) (heacookfest.com) That mission has shaped the festival since at least 2024, when organizers described the event as a mix of live music, food, craft vendors and fundraising connected to local heroes. (wmdt.com) (heacookfest.com) The clearest current listings point to a one-day event on April 24, not a three-day weekend. The public calendars now online do not show April 25 or April 26 festival dates for Heacook Fest in Delmar. (festivalguidesandreviews.com) (kylanbarn.com) (patch.com) For Delmar, the weekend event is less a general spring fair than a memorial gathering with entertainment attached. The draw is the combination of a local venue, a named beneficiary and a program built around music and vendors. (heacookfest.com) (secretsoftheeasternshore.com) Barring an updated schedule from organizers, the practical takeaway is simple: Heacook Fest appears set for Friday, April 24, at Kylan Barn, with admission free and donations encouraged at the door.
