Frequently asked questions

I'm a vendor and want to participate. Who can I contact?

Reach out to our event coordinator, Jess at jess.sachs@newtownforestassociation.org

How can I become an NFA member?

A $40 donation made on our website (www.newtownforestassociation.org) or mailed to us (PO Box 213, Newtown CT 06470) grants your household a one year membership.

Is this event rain or shine?

Unfortunately due to the logistics of coordinating so many vendors and other partners, we cannot hold a rain date. In the event of bad weather, a cancellation decision will be made 48 hours in advance.

Can I bring my dog?

Absolutely, as long as they stay on leash.
