Holy Rosary Parish in Claymont traditionally holds its carnival the week of Memorial Day. The event returned in 2022 after a two-year hiatus because of the coronavirus pandemic. The first few nights featured hot weather, but that didn’t keep the crowds away.
The carnival continues through Saturday, June 4. More information is available at www.hrparish.com.
