Summer 2022

A Three-day Festival in Norfolk, Connecticut! August 5, 6 & 7, 2022

SUMMER 2022

A Weekend in Norfolk! Our seventh annual town-wide summer festival celebrated all the wonderful things there are here to see and do. Fire-hose water soccer was back, there were concerts at the Music Shed, and work by artists and artisans all over town. Now we’re looking forward to this summer’s Weekend on August 4, 5 & 6. There’ll be all kinds of fun events, both old favorites and surprises. If you have suggestions, let us know…we’d like to hear from you, and do sign up to be notified when we’ve started posting events.

If you’re a winter person, then save the dates: Saturday and Sunday, February 24 & 25, 2024. See Winter Weekend for this year’s events.

Be sure to visit the Weekend in Norfolk YouTube channel or see the Virtual Events page. You’ll find music, art, activities for kids, tours and a lot more about our wonderful town, available 24/7. Enjoy!
