- The 05676 A lot of folks hear “Stowe” and instantly think of Billy Kidd and the Sound of Music. But when you follow ‘Stowe’ with ‘Street’ as in the Stowe Street Arts Festival,that means WATERBURY! Right off of Exit 10 in downtown Waterbury is historic Stowe Street, the home of our art fest and the place you should be this weekend!
We love, love, love dogs – but dogs hate, hate, hate, being on hot sunny pavement any longer than they have to. So we kindly ask that you leave Spot at home! This way you don’t have to worry about getting all tangled up in his leash and you don’t have to pick up after him if he has to go in the middle of the someone’s booth! So please, please, please leave your awesome fuzzy friends at home (not in your car!) because everyone will be better off! Thanks!
- Waterbury is full of wonderful local businesses, many of whom have generously supported us and made this whole event possible! Please stop in to the Waterbury Pharmacy and our other wonderful sponsors and tell them how much you enjoyed the Stowe Street Arts Festival!
- Accessibility If you require assistance to visit us, please go to the entrance gate on Stowe Street & Main Street and our volunteers will do their best to help you!
