During this year's Delray Affair our local merchants are rolling out the red carpet for attendees. Be sure to go "Behind the Booths" and see the latest offerings from our beloved merchants. While visiting the 54th Annual Delray Affair look for our street team in pink "Behind the Booth" t-shirts.

Produced by the Greater Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce, the Delray Affair traces its roots back to the 1940s and ‘50s as the annual Delray Beach Gladiola Festival, a community-wide event that attracted tourists as well as local residents who participated in everything from the annual Gladiola parade to the Miss Gladiola beauty pageant. Today, the community spirit that sparked the first Delray Affair lives on in an arts and crafts festival like no other under the sun. The Delray Affair has an economic impact of approx. $5 million per year. It is estimated the event has produced a $50 million impact for the area over its history.
