Off-Main Experience 2026: Stamford

The Off-Main Experience is coming to the Stamford Riverwalk for 2026!

Brought to you by RiseUP for Arts, we are activating the beautiful Richmond Hill Riverwalk at Mill River Park for three special evenings this summer and early fall.

Come experience the "indefensible trifecta" of Music, Art, and Food right on the waterfront. Our goal is to activate our public spaces, support local small businesses, and bring the community together through the arts.

This year's Off-Main Event Series is sponsored by Stamford Arts & Culture.

Special Feature: The SEED 📦🎨 This year’s Stamford series features a unique collaboration with The SEED—Stamford's innovative, 24-hour walk-up art gallery built into a retrofitted shipping container. Attendees will get to experience brand new artwork displayed both inside and outside of The SEED, highlighting incredible local creators.

What Else to Expect:

• Live Music: Local bands and performers bringing the energy to the riverwalk.
• Shop Local: Explore a curated lineup of local artisans, makers, and small business vendors.
• Delicious Eats: Enjoy great food and drinks from neighborhood spots.
• Family Fun: Interactive arts & crafts, games, and activities for all ages in the park.
