Special events for families and friends of all ages round out the weekend, making this one of the most anticipated festivals in the Northeast.

A message from Festival Chairman Mike Reilly:

"The Norwalk Oyster Festival has always been about world-class music — free with admission — and great community. This year we're bringing incredible variety, from country to rock and roll, with talent coming in from Nashville. Our volunteers have worked incredibly hard to make the 48th a special one, because we know this festival is a tradition for so many people near and far. We can't wait to celebrate with you."

We would also like to give a special shout-out to our Presenting Sponsor, Mohegan Sun Online Casino, whose support helps make this festival possible.
