Sunday, October 11 from 10am-4pm

The Waveny Arts Festival is set to take place once again on Sunday October 11 in New Canaan, during which a group of artist and artisan vendors representing a mix of mediums, products and styles will be on display for residents and visitors at Waveny Park.

Presented by the Carriage Barn Arts Center, the 4th annual free event will be held Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the park and feature fine art photographers, a diverse mix of jewelry designers and painters ranging from abstract to landscapes, mixed media to three dimensional and more.

Also on display will be block printed textiles, ceramics, hand-poured candles, clothing, stationery, paper products and ornaments, offering a complete range of sizes and price points for guests.

Guests can also enjoy live music and performances, from Bluegrass band the Parkway Ramblers, New Canaan Town Brass and many others, as well as a preview of the Connecticut Stage Company’s upcoming production of “My Fair Lady”. Dance performances by New England Academy of Dance and their professional company, Thomas Ortiz Dance will be a new addition to the entertainment this year.

There will also be fun family activities & crafts and various food and beverage options including Mobile Pie, Taco Tequila, Farmer’s Grind Coffee, So Fresh Doughnuts and the South Norwalk Ice Cream Truck.

A Young Entrepreneurs Marketplace will also return to this year’s festival, providing 30 kids and teens ages 9-17 an opportunity to showcase their businesses and products.

The majority of these artists and artisans are from New Canaan and the surrounding towns in the community. The same goes for the performers and food vendors, so this is a great way to support the creative community and a great way for the Carriage Barn Arts Center to highlight what we’re all about. The goal in producing this arts festival is to connect people with the arts and celebrate creativity.

Come out and have a great day in the park supporting your local community!
