University of Delaware Ag Day always has something for everyone.

At the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (CANR) signature community event, you'll find sheep shearing, bird flight demonstrations, plant sales, UDairy Creamery ice cream, participatory economics research and even cockroach races.

"It's a wonderful opportunity for our college to exhibit to the entire community what we do and what we have here," said Lori Baiardi, CANR events manager. "We have a 350-acre campus right here in Newark. Ag Day is an opportunity for the community to really learn about agriculture, conservation and incredible research that's happening here at UD and impacts their lives."

Led by College of Agriculture and Natural Resources' students, Ag Day is a decades-old tradition held each April. The 2024 edition of this favorite community event takes place Saturday, April 27, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m at Townsend Hall (531 South College Ave.) in Newark. CANR students and collegiate organizations will show off agriculture and natural resources through various events, demonstrations and food. Parking and admission is free and open to the general public.
