Shop, Sip & Stroll

After the last float rolls by and the final notes of patriotic music fade, the celebration is just getting started! Keep the spirit alive in Downtown Wallingford with our Shop, Sip & Stroll event—an afternoon of small-town charm, creative flair, and community pride.

From 1:00 to 5:00 p.m., take a leisurely stroll through our open-air Art Show, featuring incredible works by talented local artists. From paintings to photography, you’ll be inspired by the creativity rooted right here in our own backyard.

Shop the Sidewalk Sale! Area merchants will line the streets with special deals, seasonal finds, and patriotic flair. It’s the perfect opportunity to support your favorite local shops and discover a few new ones, too.

Dine & Unwind at one of Wallingford’s many cafés, restaurants, or pubs. Grab a bite, raise a toast, and soak in the festive atmosphere with friends and family.
