Norwalk Seaport Association Oyster Festival
The 36th annual Norwalk
Seaport Association Oyster Festival will once again welcome summer’s end. The first weekend after Labor Day in
September marks the annual celebration held in Norwalk, Connecticut. Presenting sponsor for the third
consecutive year is First County Bank. This year’s
event will run Friday, September 6 through Sunday, September 8. The
Festival offers a wide variety of activities the whole family will enjoy,
including an Arts & Crafts Pavilion, the Kid’s Cove, with rides, games and
child-centered entertainment, a food court with everything from Italian
favorites to seafood. And, not to be
missed, the popular Oyster Slurping and Oyster Shucking contests. The festival also offers continuous
entertainment by local musicians and national acts. One of many acts on the entertainment
line-up, Friday night, the stage comes alive with the sounds of Max Creek
bringing together generations of music lovers with their mix of rock, country,
reggae, soul, and calypso. On Saturday
night, fans who missed The Village People last year due to inclement weather,
can catch their favorite band of neighborhood guys performing. Sunday’s headliner will be a nightclub
favorite, The Zoo, winner of MTV’s Ultimate Cover Band contest.
The event is held at Veteran’s
Park, adjacent to Norwalk Harbor on Seaview Avenue in Norwalk, CT. Admission for adults is $10 on Friday, $12 on
