Entering its 39th year, SoNo Arts Celebration’s landmark event takes place August 16 and 17 on the streets of the historic waterfront of South Norwalk. This year’s festivities offer attendees an array of outdoor exhibits in addition to workshops for adults and children. Over 120 artisans from all over the nation and Canada will participate in the celebration.

Free to the public, the weekend-long event plays hosts to over 30,000 attendees annually and features live music throughout the weekend on two stages. Music will run throughout the festival during the day with Silent Disco making its return Friday night for the kick-off party, as well as Saturday night.

The Children’s Art Playground has also expanded, encompassing more themed vendors including the Splash Car Wash Fire Station Playground. A puppeteer workshop will be held Saturday to help build the puppets for the Annual Puppet Parade taking place Sunday at noon.

Food trucks will be on the premises and most restaurants will have outside seating.
