Norwalk Seaport Association

The Norwalk Seaport Association is a nonprofit dedicated to preserving and celebrating the rich maritime heritage of Norwalk, Connecticut, and Long Island Sound. We connect our community to the water through unforgettable experiences, environmental education, and beloved local traditions.

We’re best known for our Sheffield Island Lighthouse Cruises — scenic boat trips across the Sound to a beautifully preserved 1868 lighthouse on a protected wildlife sanctuary — and the Norwalk Oyster Festival, one of New England’s largest and most beloved waterfront festivals, drawing tens of thousands of visitors each September.

Whether you’re setting sail for the first time or you’ve been part of our community for years, there’s always something happening on the water. Follow us on Eventbrite to stay current on cruises, festivals, and seasonal events throughout the year.
