No holds barred! Fun for all is the watchword in Norfolk, Conn., this coming August 3, 4 and 5 during the town’s third annual three-day, town-wide festival, A Weekend in Norfolk. Everyone’s invited to come with family and friends to enjoy the more than 80 events—mostly free—that Norfolk’s organizations, businesses, and individuals will all be putting on to welcome visitors to their town.
On Friday, visitors can get a glimpse of the country club’s renowned 9-hole golf course, two churches will be offering afternoon tours of their magnificent stained glass windows and the town’s first selectman will be performing weddings and vow renewals on the village green (by appointment). Then there are artisan demos, a guided nature walk, and chainsaw wood carving, the opening reception for the Norfolk Artists & Friends 10th annual exhibition, plus concerts at Infinity Hall and the Yale Music Shed.
The pace picks up on Saturday, with continuing art events and more concerts, including a free concert at the Music Shed and live outdoor performances sponsored by Infinity Music Hall. The Norfolk farmers market is celebrating with a variety of special events including chef demonstrations, a pie sale to benefit the Congregational church and several events, especially for kids.
Other highlights for kids include games on the green, a painting workshop, a children’s concert and water polo with fire hoses. The evening will be crowned with Astronomy Night atop Dennis Hill and concerts at Infinity Hall and the Music Shed.

Sunday is no time to go home—there are house tours, garden tours, more stained glass window tours, more concerts, the curling club open house, three farm tours, an art workshop for adults, more demos and art shows, fly tying and casting on the green, outdoor music, the food court, a trail run, a Little League exhibition game and more.
We didn’t mention everything—the photography exhibition at the historical society museum, the Hike-the-Peaks challenge, all the artisan demos, the Magnificent Microscope sessions and more—or that many events are multi-day affairs.
Visit the Weekend in Norfolk Website, for details by special interest or by day and time, and be sure to come the first weekend in August 2018 (August 3, 4 and 5).
You’ll have all the fun you imagined and more!
