DID YOU KNOW?

Stratford Day is a free, one-day, family street festival. It has been held for 24 years on a blocked-off portion of Main St. , a town green, a community center and senior center, in Stratford , Conn. It is held on the first Saturday in June. The purpose of Stratford Day is to provide an event where all civic, religious and social groups come together in one place for fund raising and public exposure, fostering community interaction and providing a fun, family outing.

Community groups have a booth either selling food, running children’s games for a small fee or simply offering free information. Crafters are also invited to Stratford Day to offer their goods. Some businesses also set up information booths to promote their goods and services.

All groups involved pay a modest fee to receive a display area. All proceeds go to expenses required in supporting and running Stratford Day. Stratford Day is a non-profit organization. The Stratford Day Committee is an all-volunteer group of local citizens and is always looking for more helping hands. There are no paid staff members. Participation in, or display during, Stratford Day is by invitation only.
