Join us for our 4th annual Town of Essex Community Day Festival!

Our Community Day Festival celebrates everything that makes the Town of Essex Special. Town residents and neighbors from surrounding communities are invited to join us for a day of fun and entertainment.  Kids will enjoy hay rides, festival games, and treats at our Kids Carnival, while adults can shop local vendors, enjoy fare from area food trucks, and network with local businesses and organizations.   Whether you explore our expansive touch a truck, relax on a hay-drawn wagon ride, or dance to the live music,  there's sure to be something for everyone.  

Essex is a great place to live, work, and play. We strive to build a culture of community through fun events for all ages. Join us for Community Day.
