Neighbourhood highlights

Welcome to Delta, a picturesque village brimming with history and surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. As one of the earliest settlements in the region, dating back to 1796, Delta offers a captivating glimpse into the past while providing modern-day conveniences for a comfortable stay.

Within the village, you'll find essential amenities such as the Bastard Coffee House, grocery store, liquor store, post office, and gas station, ensuring all your everyday needs are met. For leisure activities, Delta offers a library and a recreation center, catering to a range of interests. If you're up for some golfing, sightseeing, or shopping for unique gifts, you'll find delightful options within easy driving distance.

The crown jewel of Delta is the renowned Old Stone Mill, an exquisite museum and designated National Historic Site of Canada. Originally built in 1810, the mill has been meticulously restored and features fully functional millstones installed during its 200th-anniversary celebration in 2010. The Old Stone Mill welcomes visitors from Victoria Day weekend to Labour Day, offering a captivating glimpse into the region's milling heritage. Special events such as the Delta Maple Syrup Festival and the Delta Harvest Festival, held on the last Saturday in September, provide even more opportunities to experience the charm of this historic landmark.

Delta proudly hosts two annual events that should not be missed. In early April, the Delta Maple Syrup Festival celebrates the local treasure of maple syrup, inviting visitors to indulge in its delectable flavours. At the end of July, the Delta Fair takes center stage, boasting over 180 years of history as one of Canada's oldest fairs. Originally focused on agriculture, the fair has evolved to include a wide array of family-friendly activities, including tractor pulls, horse shows, car displays, and the always entertaining cow chip bingo.

As the season transition, Delta continues to captivate visitors with its enchanting offerings. In the fall, the Harvest Festival takes center stage, showcasing an abundance of local produce, crafts, and warm apple cider. During the winter months, the Village Lights spectacle illuminates Delta with a magical glow, as various locations, including the Old Stone Mill adorned with candles in each window, create a truly enchanting Christmas ambiance.

Come and immerse yourself in the captivating beauty and rich history of Delta. Whether you seek tranquillity, cultural exploration, or family-friendly festivities, Delta offers an unforgettable experience for every visitor.
