The Delaware Seaside Railroad Club sponsors these annual shows and sets up operating train displays which run throughout the show for visitor entertainment. A full snack bar is available. Admission is $6.00 and Children 10 and under are free.
The dates for the 2023 shows are April 29th for the Spring Fling and September 30th for the Indian Summer Show. These Saturday shows run from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. and are held at the Roxana Delaware Fire Hall.
