The Mansfield Downtown Partnership invites residents and friends of all ages to celebrate the best of Mansfield with music, food, and fun on Saturday.

Activity Booths:

Join in the fun
The Mansfield Downtown Partnership invites businesses, community organizations, and clubs located in Mansfield, Connecticut and UConn departments, programs, and student groups to host an Activity Booth.

We aim to keep the Celebrate Mansfield Festival "low-waste."
Here’s how you can help:
Plan an activity that produces little to no waste.
Use materials that can either be used again for future events or recycled and composted after the Festival.
Instead of handing out brochures, have a visual display promoting your business/organization and have an email sign-up sheet or QR code for visitors to learn more. Focus on a memorable activity that provides visitors a positive experience with your business/organization, rather than a disposable give-away.

Craft Booths:
The Mansfield Downtown Partnership is excited to feature crafters, makers, and artists as part of our juried craft show at our 21st Annual Celebrate Mansfield Festival. The Partnership invites Connecticut crafters, makers, and artists to apply for a Craft Booth.

We are seeking goods that are hand-made, artisan, or locally sourced:

Hand-made: Original works that are created from raw or repurposed materials.
Examples include: Wood carvings, woven baskets, hand-turned pottery, paper mosaics

Artisan: Original works that are artistically rendered from pre-existing materials
Examples include: Quilts, jewelry, knit or crocheted items, tie-dyed clothing

Locally sourced: Products or food items* that are made with locally grown materials/ingredients
Examples include: Jams or preserves, honey, soaps, hand creams

Food Booths:
The Mansfield Downtown Partnership invites Mansfield-located businesses and community organizations to host a food booth at the Celebrate Mansfield Festival. For restaurants, food booths are a great way to connect with regulars and new fans. For community organizations, food booths offer the only way to raise funds for your group at this event.
