Every night on the Green, we have a whole host of food and artisan vendors waiting for YOU! From tasty treats while you take in a concert to finding that special something, there's no better way to support New Haven's local economy and pass some time browsing! On weekends we'll have artisans on hand offering products like soaps, art, jewelry, pottery, books and more!
