Hamden Fest Date Announced, Vendor Registration Underway

HAMDEN, CT – Vendor registration is open for the 6th Annual Hamden Fest, taking place on Saturday, June 6 from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. at Hamden Town Center Park.

“Each year, thousands of attendees gather for Hamden’s signature kickoff to summer—an energetic, family-friendly festival that continues to grow year after year,” according to a news release from the Hamden Regional Chamber of Commerce. “Local businesses, artists, crafters, and civic & non-profit organizations are invited to take advantage of this high-visibility opportunity to connect directly with new customers, showcase/sell their work, and grow their presence in the community.”

Hamden Fest offers vendors “unmatched exposure through a full day of activity, including a Business & Community Expo, Arts, Crafts & Civic Fest, Kids Zone, live entertainment, food trucks, and more,” according to the news release.

“The Chamber is proud to organize an event that brings thousands of people together in a vibrant, welcoming setting,” Hamden Regional Chamber of Commerce President Nancy Dudchik said. “For businesses, artists, and organizations, it’s a unique opportunity to be seen, make meaningful connections, and be part of something that truly celebrates the spirit and growth of Hamden.”

Vendor space for both the Business Expo and Arts, Crafts & Civic Fest is limited and filling quickly, according to organizers. The Arts, Crafts & Civic Fest is capped at just 75 vendors, so early registration is strongly encouraged.
