The Walk for Autism is Autism Delaware's largest event and community gathering. Funds raised through this event support individuals and families affected by autism throughout the state.

Over the last 16 years, the Walk has been a way for people and families to come together and show their support, acceptance and inclusion. This year we will be hosting the Walk at two new venues and we hope to see your there!

What’s Happening on Walk Day?

We listened to your feedback from last year's event and will continue to have two walk start times. You can choose your preferred start time during your registration (9:30 am or 11:00 am).

1. Autism Delaware program staff will be on hand to meet you and connect you with the services we provide.

2. An Autism Services Section will feature representatives from state agencies like DDDS, SSI, DVR and more with information on programs that children & adults with autism may qualify for.

3. Food Trucks offering coffee, breakfast items and lunch will be there. Many are cash only so bring some $.

4. Sponsors offering goods, information or services of interest to our community.

5. Inflatable games for all to enjoy.

Please note that dogs are not permitted at either walk location - so leave your furry friends at home on walk day.

Please be aware that Delaware City is also hosting Delaware City Day on the same day as the Walk for Autism.

What does this mean?

There will be some traffic congestion when entering Delaware City. All you need to do is follow the signs for Autism Delaware event parking and you will enter directly into Fort DuPont. Traffic will flow in one entry way from Route 9 and exit another. There will be parking lot attendants guiding you to the perfect onsite parking space.
