Special Events of Parks & Recreation

Southbury Celebration Cancelled Due to COVID-19

The Southbury Celebration has been enjoyed by over 4,000 people annually since 1999. The event is hosted by the Town of Southbury and the Southbury Training School and celebrates our local community with food, music, fellowship and fireworks. The State of Connecticut Covid-19 guidance, as of August 14, 2020, directs fireworks events be limited to 500 maximum. Accordingly, out of an abundance of caution and our desire to host a quality, safe and fun celebration for everyone, we have postponed the Southbury Celebration to the Fall of 2021.
