3rd Thursday Street Fest: June 19th, 2025

Thousands of people from far and wide stroll along Main Street in Willimantic amid a background of musical, theatrical, visual, and olfactory delights.

There are stilt walkers and dancers to entertain you as you meander through the fest.

Five stages simultaneously host a wide variety of music and entertainment while over 150 local and regional crafters and vendors showcase the wealth of goods produced in Connecticut.

Enjoy the "More than Beer Garden..."- featuring local brews and local non-alcoholic options too!

Kids can play yard games and bounce in the colorful bounce house or visit many vendors for fun free activities.

Willimantic's diversity really shines through in the delicious authentic international and local cuisine with over 20 trucks/tables to enjoy.

Main Street Merchants stay open late with specials!

Join the community party, now in our 22nd season :)
