What is Return Day? Return Day takes place on November 10, 2016. Return Day is a biennial celebration held the Thursday after Election Day where the winners and losers of statewide and Sussex County elections gather to set partisanship aside and “bury the hatchet”. The unique festival and ceremony are held the Thursday after Election Day in Georgetown, Delaware. Tradition has kept the festival alive. Schools and government offices shut down for the afternoon of the Thursday after Election Day, and people from throughout the state flock to Georgetown for the festivals. The day still has a carnival atmosphere, complete with merchants, food vendors, and competitions. Return Day is used by many politicians as a way to announce or create buzz for their upcoming campaign. Politicians often hand out campaign stickers for the office they will seek in two years. Other people wear stickers exhibiting wishful thinking or encouraging their favorite candidate to seek higher office.
