Shelton Day will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 3 in downtown Shelton.
There will be more than 100 vendors set up along Howe Avenue with entertainment, crafts and food at the street festival.
Shelton Day was founded and first organized by the Shelton Business District Association in the mid 1980’s as a small street fair, according to the event website.
The goal was to bring people into downtown Shelton and introduce them to the business community.
It has now grown into a citywide festival and celebration, and is sponsored and run by the Derby/Shelton Rotary Club.
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. The funds are also used for other community projects such as the “Welcome to Shelton” signs.
