In 2026, America marks its 250th anniversary, and Delaware holds a unique place in that story as The First State. The Delaware Association of REALTORS® is proud to recognize this historic milestone through a series of efforts that celebrate our state, support our communities, and highlight the role REALTORS® play across Delaware.

As part of this initiative, we are featuring original video submissions from members, serving as a main sponsor of Dover’s Fourth of July celebration, and exploring additional ways to engage members in this once in a lifetime commemoration.

Our Delaware 250 Efforts

Main Sponsor of Dover’s Fourth of July Celebration

The Delaware Association of REALTORS® is proud to serve as a main sponsor of Dover’s 2026 Fourth of July event, A Celebration of Independence in the Capital of the First State.

This historic event will bring the community together on July 4, 2026, as America celebrates its 250th anniversary. Our sponsorship reflects our commitment to supporting Delaware communities and participating in meaningful statewide efforts tied to this important moment in our nation’s history.

Member Video Project

As part of our Delaware 250 efforts, we invited members to share short videos reflecting on Delaware’s history, significance, and connection to home, community, and real estate.

We are proud to feature the videos submitted through that project below.

Why It Matters

For REALTORS®, home is at the center of the American story. Delaware’s role in the founding of our nation and the continued strength of its communities make this anniversary especially meaningful.

We are proud to take part in recognizing America’s 250th while highlighting the importance of homeownership, community, and service across The First State.
