The South Norwalk Splash Festival is a great family event held in South Norwalk. The event includes a chinese dragon boat parade, a chowder cook-off, special dancing performances, and much more.

A good portion of the event in held right outside the SONO Switch Tower Museum on
Washington Street.

Here are some photos of this years event, taken by our volunteer Bob Gambling.
