Fairfield University’s Center for Arts & Minds returns as a title sponsor, helping transform the venue into a multistage experience with documentary screenings in StageOne, outdoor performances, and a band in The Warehouse.

* Admission includes all entertainment and activities. A dedicated 21+ tasting lounge will offer complimentary samples of wine, beer, and spirits. Enjoy pay-as-you-go global bites from participating vendor tents, with affordable pricing curated for the event.
