The festival will be held on the grounds of the Fairfield Hills campus in Newtown, CT. MAP LOCATION
The Fairfield Hills campus was originally developed for the Fairfield Hills State Hospital – a state run psychiatric hospital in operation from 1931-1994. Since closing, Fairfield Hills was purchased by the town of Newtown and has become home to town offices and public activities for the Northern Fairfield County region. In 2024, Fairfield Hills was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Parking will be throughout the grounds of the Fairfield Hills campus and at Reed Middle School. We will have parking attendants and signage when you arrive.
New for 2026 – Additional parking at Newtown High School, 12 Berkshire Rd., Sandy Hook, CT – with shuttles running from 2:00pm to 10:30pm.
