Train It to Sailfest This Weekend – July 8-10

With large crowds, road closures, and limited parking, it’s the perfect time to leave the car behind and take the train to this year’s Sailfest! CTrail Shore Line East stops in the heart of downtown New London and right in the middle of Sailfest fun!

From Friday, July 8th – Sunday, July 10th, this three-day festival, held at Waterfront Park, will feature amusement rides, free entertainment, ships, over 200 food vendors, and a major fireworks display on Saturday night.

New London Union Station is just a short walk to the festivities, so CTrail Shore Line East is the perfect option to get you there. Expanded capacity on several of our trains makes for a stress-free and comfortable ride. Even catching the fireworks is easy as CTrail Shore Line East will offer service departing New London at 10:50 PM, and arriving at New Haven Union Station at 11:53 PM.
