Chowdafest Setting Sails for Norwalk This Fall. New England’s premier culinary competition, Chowdafest, will be moving outdoors to Calf Pasture Beach Park in Norwalk, Connecticut on Sunday, October, 12, from Noon to 4 p.m. The move was predicated by reaching capacity this past winter at the Webster Bank Arena where the event was previously held for the past two years.
Keenan worked with officials at Norwalk over the past several months to bring the event to the city where six of the past 12 Chowdafest winners reside. “One has to think of Norwalk as the Chowder Capital of Connecticut,” Keenan added.
With the event moving to the fall, the competition is more state-wide than ever as many of Connecticut’s shoreline and seasonal favorites can now participate. Restaurants from Greenwich to Mystic to Hartford are slated to participate.
Nine restaurants are featured in each category.
