The Whimsy Venue will be a 2-acre performance area on our William St. facing festival field, creating a one-of-a-kind experience for visitors! There will be 2 phases to complete the entire vision, with Phase 1 breaking ground soon!
An iconic art-forward large stage (58 x38) that will look like a towering organic structure growing out of the ground. The canopy will be made of colorful steel and iridescent resin. The size will support large bands, symphony, dance troupes, theater, comedy, movie screens, and more.
Thank you to artist Tony Ball with Tork Collaborative Arts for designing this beautiful stage for the Park. We can't wait to see it at full scale in the Whimsy space!
Thank you to The Delaware County Board of Commissioners for the initial grant in 2023 to kick-off the design process!
Enhanced grounds including an artistic wrought iron fence (to replace the chained link) with ornate walk-in and drive-in gates, a community designed & created mosaic entrance from William St., added parking, and landscaping & paths that connect the features of the space.
Completing Phase 1 & 2 of Whimsy Venue would generate a $7.5mm in economic income annually for Delaware! (CVB)
Help us hit our goals by taking part in our Capital Campaign to raise the full $2,652,000! See all the opportunities below.
