Previously, over 8000 people and 170+ vendors from all over have enjoyed this annual town-wide event of music, food, vendor booths, games, and children rides.  Please join us to celebrate the many organizations, programs, and services the Town has to offer.  We especially want to thank the Town of Stratford departments for providing the many public services that make this event so safe, clean, and successful.

COVID-19 Precautions

• Create a 10 ft space between each vendor.  We expect to use the entirety of Main Street between E. Broadway and Stratford Avenue.  Additional, ground markings will be used to encourage social distancing.
• Vendors will be required to always wear a mask and require visitors to wear a mask.  Each vendor will provide a supply of masks to hand out if necessary.
• Each vendor will be required to have a supply of hand sanitizer available for the public.  To discourage large clustering around the food location, we plan spread the Food Trucks further apart.  Preferably to limit no more than 2 Trucks in an area.
• To assist in social distancing, two food trucks will be placed at the corner of the following side streets Judson, Broad, Harvey, College and Academy Hill.
• Please leave your dog at home, or at least restrained from approaching other people.

The event will always be on the first Saturday in June from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Rain or Shine.  To reserve space at this event, complete the online application and submit payment to participate.

The Stratford Main Street Festival, was started by the Rotary Club of Stratford in 2011 as a community service project to replace the defunct Stratford Day.  Each year Stratford Rotarians volunteer to organize the Festival as a town-wide event to celebrate the many organizations, programs and services the Town of Stratford has to offer. 

We invite all organizations and vendors (profit & non-profit) to promote the work they do, boost their outreach and fundraising; and provide a day of fun and pleasure for people of all ages.

The proceeds will support a variety of community efforts including high school scholarships, Thanksgiving food baskets, Lord's Kitchen and Food Distribution for those in need.  Rotarians also provide a Dictionary for every Stratford 3rd grader, and a Thesaurus for every 5th grader. We fund or provide hands-on volunteers for projects servicing the needs of Seniors, special needs population, student education, homelessness, and environmental concerns.

Stratford Rotary Club is a charted club of Rotary International.  We are a charitable non-political and non-religious International organization open to all. There are over 35,000+ member clubs worldwide, with a membership of 1.2 million individuals, known as Rotarians. Rotarians are united worldwide to provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations and help build goodwill and peace in the world.

We meet each Tuesday 12:00 pm (virtually for now) for an hour.  Please contact us at info@stratfordrotaryclub.org or visit a meeting to learn more.
