Join us for the Meriden Daffodil Festival – Meriden’s largest and most colorful festival! With food, crafts, music, fireworks, amusements, and a spectacular parade, the Meriden Daffodil Festival is a springtime funfest for all! The Daffodil Festival began in 1978 as a community event, and today is one of Connecticut’s favorite annual celebrations, held during the last weekend in April each year.
