NICE Festival Coming Soon… Saturday July 8, 2023
“In Norwalk, we make it a point to celebrate the uniqueness of our community and all the diverse cultures our city represents. No other event exemplifies the beautiful melting pot that Norwalk exhibits as well as the NICE Festival. Between the food, music, and artistic expression from various cultures and backgrounds, Norwalk’s incredible authenticity is on full display at this fantastic family-friendly event. The NICE Festival is always well attended by people across the region and captures how our city’s diversity is one of our greatest strengths. I look forward to celebrating the Seventh Annual NICE Festival in July 2023!”
