The Seaport Association is trying to reach out to surrounding towns apparently, as the Village People will headline this year’s Oyster fest.
The Village People will take the Main Stage at 9 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 8.

In addition, the festival will spotlight talented musicians, dancers and storytellers from throughout the region, hundreds of artists and crafters, a special children’s activity area and amusement rides, food court, recreation and leisure demonstrations, working boats, harbor tours, an Oyster Pavilion, environmental, maritime and other displays.

“We’re looking to make Sunday into some type of anniversary finale,” Snider said. “Mostly, we just want to have a big party where everyone is having a good time.”
The Oyster Festival will take place on Friday, Sept. 7, from 6 - 11:00 p.m., on Saturday Sept. 8, from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. and on Sunday, Sept. 9, from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Veteran’s Park.
Admission prices at the gate are $12.00 for adults, $10.00 for senior citizens (62 and older) and $3.00 for children ages 5-12. Children younger than five enter free. Tickets can be purchased online at (www.seaport.org), where a $25.00 weekend pass will be available. Advance general admission tickets for $10.00 also will be available at select area banks and businesses. The daily entrance fee includes off-site parking, shuttle busses to and from the festival and all performances at the NSA Oyster Festival.
Singing, “YMCA” the festival is reaching out to Westport and Stamford, who each face unique YMCA issues. “Go West” is for Norwalk though, obviously in reference to the West ave. development project. The only question I have is who is represented by the “Macho Man” song? I’m sure you all will weight on this, and other very slow news days items in the comments.
