Sherman Green will feature activities for children and families, including an inflatable bounce house, face painting by Marcia Patterson of “Put on a Happy Face”, balloon artistry by Robbie’s Pack, and an appearance by “Storm” the Bridgeport Sound Tigers mascot. Members of the Fairfield Teen Theatre Company will also be presenting at 11am a preview of their upcoming stage production of “Les Misérables.”
This year’s event will feature live musical entertainment at multiple venues scattered throughout the downtown.
