The New Haven Open Street Festival

Presented by the City of New Haven Economic Development Department

The New Haven Open Street Festival is a vibrant, family-friendly celebration that transforms Church Street into a car-free playground of creativity, culture, and community connection. For three consecutive Sundays this summer, residents and visitors of all ages are invited to experience downtown like never before — reimagined as a lively open space filled with music, movement, and joy.

From live music and DJ sets to dance performances, spoken word, and interactive art, the festival brings together the best of New Haven’s talent and energy. Enjoy bounce houses, basketball games, a game station, and hands-on activities for kids and adults alike. Explore a curated mix of local vendors, food trucks, and a street picnic area perfect for relaxing and connecting.
