The Rose Arts Festival Is Back

Festival returns to downtown Norwich after two-year hiatus.

A call to the community to celebrate yesterday, today and tomorrow. That was the message at the Rose Arts Festival which took place on Saturday, June 25 at the Chelsea Parade Park in downtown Norwich. The festival focused on interaction, community involvement, emerging music, and public art to motivate.

As an event sponsor, Backus Hospital had a large presence to promote their services and engage with the local community. Backus also provided several opportunities for games with the kids, blood pressure testing, COVID test kits, and a chance to ride the new "blender bike." Norwich Tech students designed the bike for use by Backus in teaching about the benefits of exercise and healthy drinks and snacks.
