Day Events
State Event Return Day (Delaware)
Return Day in Delaware is a unique, biennial tradition that takes place in Georgetown, Delaware, two days after Election Day. This event, steeped in history dating back to the late 18th century, symbolizes bipartisanship and unity. It is marked by a parade featuring local politicians from both major political parties who ride together in horse-drawn carriages. The highlight of Return Day is the ceremonial "burying of the hatchet" in a sandbox, signifying the end of the election season and the return to cooperative governance. The event also includes the public reading of election results from the Sussex County Courthouse balcony, an act that dates back to a time when citizens had to return to the county seat to hear the results. Return Day is a celebration of civic duty, democratic process, and the peaceful transition or continuation of leadership. It serves as a reminder of the importance of coming together for the common good after the conclusion of often divisive campaigns.
