2021 Neighborhood Festivals

Neighborhood Festival Committees, local arts and business partners, and Festival staff and volunteers host local talent for one-day festivals celebrating New Haven's historic and culturally rich neighborhoods. This year, our Neighborhood Festivals are fully virtual to ensure we are able to celebrate our neighbors safely.

These festivals would not be possible without the incredible leadership of each neighborhood's committee chairs:
