The annual Branford Festival spans three days on Father’s Day weekend. Thousands of local residents, families and friends gather to enjoy live music, over a dozen food vendors, local talent, kids activities, crafts and more.

The Branford Festival is historically held on the Branford Green. Due to the Main Street Reconstruction Project, the 2025 Branford Festival will be held at Hammer Field, just minutes from the Green.

The final day of the festival includes the Branford Road Race on Sunday, which includes a 1 Miles Family Fun Run, 2 Mile Health Walk and 5 Miles Road Race. Plus, enjoy the annual car show featuring 100+ vintage rides.
