All events are free & open to the public! RSVP today! 

Both days will be livestreamed on YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook Live, & our Virtual Stage. Live captioning will be available on Facebook Live. 

This Labor Day Weekend, join us in celebrating frontline workers, honoring New Haven artists, and encouraging public safety. The Festival is encouraging audiences to protect our whole community the best way we can-- by getting vaxxed for FREE at a mobile clinic on the Green, in partnership with the City of New Haven.

The Saturday, September 4 concert program featuring the NHSO and guest artists Brian Stokes Mitchell and Harolyn Blackwell is postponed and will be performed during the June 2022 International Festival of Arts and Ideas. Connecticut artists Dawn Tallman, the Tines, and DJ Fire will perform instead.
