Save the Date for Art in the Park - a FREE Special Event for all ages on May 6, 2023, 10:00am-2:00pm! Featuring crafts and recreational activities from Southbury Parks and Recreation’s Programs and arts and crafts from the Arts and Culture Subcommittee of the Southbury Economic Development Commission (ACSSEDC).

There will be free raffle drawings for prizes, free participation in crafts and activities, and food trucks on site to purchase food for a quick lunch. Food trucks include Lucky’s World Famous Hot Dogs and Szabo's Seafood!
The ACSSEDC will offer fun art projects and activities suitable for all ages featuring a community doodle project, tissue paper stained glass craft (for Mother's Day), and brief painting tutorials on easels and canvases.
