Celebrate Mansfield Festival

The Mansfield Downtown Partnership will host its 21st Annual Celebrate Mansfield Festival on Saturday, September 28 from 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM in Downtown Storrs (next to UConn in Mansfield, Connecticut).

This year’s celebration will feature a variety of activity booths hosts by Mansfield businesses and community organizations and UConn departments, programs, and student groups. Support local artists, crafters, and makers in our juried craft show. Enjoy live music, dance, magic, and puppetry performances on the main stage on Betsy Paterson Square and throughout the Festival site. Visit Storrs Farmers Market to stock up on Connecticut-grown fruits, veggies, meats, and more.

At 6:00 PM, everyone is invited to pick up some dinner from one of our Festival food booths or your favorite Downtown Storrs restaurant and head to Betsy Paterson Square for our closing concert featuring Jake Kulak and the Modern Vandals! The closing concert takes place from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM.

The Celebrate Mansfield Festival takes place throughout Downtown Storrs. In the event of inclement weather, the Festival will be held indoors at E. O. Smith High School (1235 Storrs Road). Free parking will be available in the Downtown Storrs Parking Garage (33 Royce Circle) and other day-only sites. Visit our website for public transportation options, driving directions, and parking information.

Thanks to the support of our generous sponsors, Mansfield’s largest community event is free to attend and open to everyone!
