The Norwalk Oyster Festival

Seaside rides and good-time vibes — Connecticut’s great end-of-summer tradition on the shore of Long Island Sound.

For more than four decades, the Norwalk Oyster Festival has drawn tens of thousands to the waterfront to celebrate Long Island Sound’s seafaring heritage. Three days of food, music, art and rides across 35 waterfront acres — and every ticket supports the Norwalk Seaport Association’s preservation and education mission.
