Appreciating workers at a historical venue
To the west of the city is Forty Acres, the site of Chavez’ workplace during the 1965 strike, where he dedicated a public fast to address how workers were being treated. The area is now a dedicated United States historical landmark and event venue. “They do Day of the Worker, right around Labor Day to celebrate the employees,” says Lara. “It’s a day of appreciation.” Throughout the year, Delano holds holidays and other events in town, such as a Christmas parade and Harvest holiday celebrations.
Divided by state route 99 with public transportation
Delano is about 30 miles from Bakersfield, with state route 99 bisecting the city east and west. The Delano Area Rapid Transit (DART) provides bus routes all around the city, as well. While here is a municipal airport on the southern town limits, it is mostly used for military, air ambulances and other similar services. Residents can drive to the Bakersfield Meadows Field airport, just over 25 miles away, for mainland and international flights.Supermarkets and shopping centers in town
There are two Vallarta Supermarket’s in town. Residents can also head just over two miles south to the Walmart Supercenter or Aldi’s for groceries. In line with the city’s mission to create employment opportunities, the Delano Marketplace, a new 47-acre outdoor commercial area with a Home Depot, Ross and 35 other retail and dining establishments, provides job opportunities for residents. The city of Delano is looking to develop the area even more, with an additional five areas of commercial land already secured for that purpose. Taco Bell and Jollibee add fast food options within Delano Marketplace. For more local food, Jenny’s Café, a Mexican restaurant in business since 1976, serves up carnitas, huevos rancheros, camarones a la costa and more.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
