A Winter Weekend Festival in Norfolk, Connecticut! February 26 & 27, 2022
A Winter Weekend Festival in Norfolk!
Two days of fun for all, indoors and out… food, live music, art exhibits, winter sports and hiking, tours, open houses, kids’ activities and more. We’re hoping that WINter 2022 will be mostly in-person with precautions in place; we’re watching Covid carefully; for examples, see the 2020 in-person events below, mark your calendars for February 26 & 27, 2022, and come back often to see what’s new!
Also save the dates for our annual summer Weekend in Norfolk festival, the first weekend in August, three days of fun for everyone, August 5, 6 and 7…we hope we’ll be able to invite you to come in person! For the kinds of things to expect, see the 2019 summer pages and, if you haven’t already, be sure to sign up for our email list to be notified when we start posting new events or have special announcements. The 2020 festival was virtual.
