35th Arts Festival Returns to Trumbull

In a year that saw the return of Trumbull Day, another town favorite continues: the Trumbull Arts Festival.

"Fine hand crafted items including garden ornaments, sea glass jewelry, pottery and children’s accessories" will take over the Town Hall Green Sunday, Sept. 15 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., said Emily Areson, Trumbull Arts Commission Coordinator. 

"The juried show features over 65 artists and crafters from the tri-state area and beyond. Hundreds of pieces of fine artwork, photography and sculpture in various media will also be for sale. The artists will be delighted to talk to you about their works," Areson said.

The festival also features a Children’s Creative Center where children can create a number of crafts at no cost. It's staffed by the Trumbull Community Women and is open to children ages 3 and up, accompanied by an adult.

"Day long entertainment enhances the Festival, beginning with singer Lori Vellardito at 11:30 a.m., followed by Emily Pisarra at noon," Areson said.

After the awards ceremony at 12:30 p.m., “Karen & Rob’s Salute to Broadway” takes the stage at 1:00 p.m., followed by the “Jerrod Cattey Jazz Quintet” at 2:30 p.m.

Food vendors will be “Paradise Island” the THS Golden Eagles Marching Band  “Lou’s Kettle Corn”  and new this year, “Christophe’s Crepe Truck.”

This year the brick walk at Town Hall will be the site of several Community Groups handing out information and explaining their mission and programs.

Participating will be the Discovery Museum, Majestic Theatre Restoration Committee and representatives from The Trumbull Animal Group.

The Nature and Arts Center will be next to the Children’s tent.
