One-Day (Outbound) Getaways

Here's a "pearl" of wisdom: Do not miss the 36th Annual Norwalk Seaport Association Oyster Festival... it promises to be the biggest and best ever!

The festivities take place at Veteran’s Park on the lovely Norwalk Harbor.  There’s something for everyone, including headline musical entertainment performing on three stages, a children’s activity area, amusement rides, arts and crafts booths, a food court, recreation and leisure demonstrations, harbor tours, an oyster pavilion, environmental and maritime displays, and so much more.  You can’t beat that for an incredible day of fun!

Festival hours are: Friday, 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., Saturday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.  For more information, call 203-838-9444 or visit www.seaport.org.
