The Mansfield Downtown Partnership invites one and all to gather in Downtown Storrs for a day of celebrating the people, businesses, and organizations that make Mansfield a special place to live, work, study, and visit!
Our 16th Annual Celebrate Mansfield Festival will be Saturday, September 21 from 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Over 70 community organizations, local businesses, and UConn departments and programs will host activity booths with hands-on fun for all ages. There will be musical performances, cooking demonstrations, and a free climbing wall. Activity booths will be open from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM. For the full entertainment schedule, please visit downtownstorrsfestival.org/2019-schedule.
At 6:00 PM, the Partnership encourages everyone to pick up some dinner from one of the Festival food booths or one of our great downtown restaurants and head to Betsy Paterson Square for a special concert to cap the festivities: Parsonsfield will perform from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM.
