South of Harrington is the [[Harrington Raceway & Casino]], which is located on the Delaware State Fairgrounds. The [[Delaware State Fair]] holds a 10-day event in July annually and celebrated its centennial in 2019. The fair has been a venue for top national entertainment in recent years with acts such as Taylor Swift, [[Reba McEntire]], [[Carrie Underwood]], [[Little Big Town]], [[Gladys Knight]] and [[Brad Paisley]] among many more artists who have performed on the M&T Bank Grandstand stage. The fairgrounds also features the [[Centre Ice Rink]].

Harrington Raceway has been the home of a harness racing meet for over 75 years. Despite the town's diminutive size, some of Harrington's most famous residents have been the horses, including three recent [[Dan Patch Award]] honorees. In 2004, Rainbow Blue and 2015 [[Wiggle It Jiggleit]] both received that distinguished title of Horse of the Year and in 2019, Shartin N accomplished the impressive feat. Many other horses from the 19952 ZIP code have received divisional honors and throughout 2019, the aforementioned Shartin N was ranked the #1 horse in the country, prior to winning top honors. Amidst Shartin's ascent, yet another Harrington horse, Lather Up, was making headlines as he equaled harness racing's all-time fastest time of 1:46 in July 2019 at the [[Meadowlands Racetrack]] in [[New Jersey]]. Coincidentally, Lather Up was stabled 4 miles to the east of Harrington Raceway at George Teague Jr's farm, while Shartin N's training base was 4 miles west of the racetrack at the farm of Jo Ann Looney and Jim King Jr. The town's rich harness racing history dates back to the 1950s when Adios Harry was named aged pacer of the year and was one of the town's first nationally recognized horses. He was even on the cover of the July 23, 1956 ''[[Sports Illustrated]]'', with the headline, Adios Harry: World's Fastest Pacer! In 2021, yet another horse hailing from Harrington was making headlines - as Lyons Sentinel was ranked the #1 in the country as of October 5.

The town post office contains a wax tempera mural, ''Men Hoeing'', painted in 1941 by [[Eve Salisbury]]. Federally commissioned murals were produced from 1934 to 1943 in the United States through the [[Section of Painting and Sculpture]], later called the [[Section of Fine Arts]], of the [[United States Department of the Treasury|Treasury Department]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Arnesen |first=Eric |date=2007 |title=Encyclopedia of U.S. Labor and Working-Class History |volume=1 |location=New York |publisher=Routledge |page=1540 |isbn=9780415968263}}</ref>
