NORWICH - The Norwich Business Improvement District Management Association (BID) along with NBT Bank and Snyder Communications have launched Saturdays in the Park to breathe new life into downtown Norwich.

Saturdays in the Park features live music, cooking competitions, artist demonstrations, and a number of popular vendors in Norwich’s East Park on select Saturdays from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Riding on the success and consistency of other great events in Norwich such as the Blues Fest, Gus Macker, the Pumpkin Fest, and the Parade of Lights to name a few, Saturdays in the Park aims to bring people to an event that locals can be proud of in downtown Norwich. This summer will feature four Saturdays in the Park as a test in hopes that it will expand in years to come.
