Shelton Day is held on the first Sunday in October along the Riverwalk by the Housatonic River.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shelton Day was founded and first organized by the Shelton Business District Association in the mid-1980\u2019s as a small street fair along Howe Avenue. Their goal was to bring people into downtown Shelton and introduce them to the business community. Several years ago it was moved to the Riverwalk when the city hosted a Columbus Day parade on Howe Avenue and following the cancellation of the event due to COVID in 2020, it remained on the Riverwalk when it resumed in 2021 for health and safety reasons. It has now grown into a citywide festival and celebration and is sponsored and run by the Derby\/Shelton Rotary Club on the first Sunday in October.\u00a0 All proceeds received from Shelton Day are put back into the community, in the way of Scholarships for High School students in Derby and Shelton as well as assorted other community projects operated by the Club. For more information about sponsorships (including listings of sponsors) and booth registration, go to sheltonday.org<\/a>.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Thank you to our sponsors, vendors, and attendees. We\u2019re looking forward to seeing everyone again on October 4, 2026!<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
