Stamford Day Returning for 2025
Event Will Celebrate City’s History and Rich Cultural Scene
STAMFORD — In recent years, members of the city’s cultural community have gathered to celebrate the rich diversity throughout Stamford. Now, that gathering is back once again.
The community celebration known as Stamford Day will return on Sunday, June 1, at Mill River Park from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm. Hosted by the Mayor’s Multicultural Council (MMC) and Mill River Park Collaborative, the free family event will offer art displays, live music, dance performances, prizes, and other opportunities.
The Stamford Day festivities will be rain or shine and held near the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Display Fountain.
More than seventy languages are spoken in Stamford, according to the city’s Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion office, and it is the 16th most diverse city nationwide. Additionally, more than half of residents are people of color and more than a third of residents were born outside of the United States.
To purchase food, there will be food trucks available. To watch performances, attendees are encouraged to bring blankets or chairs. Free parking for the Stamford Day celebration will be accessible in the UConn Stamford Parking Lot located at 1194 Washington Boulevard.
The land of present-day Stamford was first settled by local Native Americans, according to the Ferguson Library. In 1641, it was bought from them and settled by Puritan families from Wethersfield. More than two centuries later, in 1893, a city charter was adopted.
