Just a reminder to mark your calendars! The 10th Annual Gathering is happening this Saturday, September 27, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Library Park in downtown Waterbury! This one-of-a-kind celebration brings together community, culture, and connection in the most vibrant way possible — and trust us, you won’t want to miss it.
The Gathering began as a simple idea: bring together all of Waterbury’s ethnic communities to celebrate their rich heritage in one place. Ten years later, it has grown into one of the most anticipated cultural festivals in the region, a joyful, inclusive event that unites thousands of people through the universal languages of music, dance, food, and tradition.
