Fall Fun Returns to Norton with Annual Sip & Stroll

When the leaves start to turn and the air gets that unmistakable nip, Norton knows exactly what to do—bring out the Sip & Stroll. It’s that warm‑and‑fuzzy, small‑town tradition that folks have been waiting for all summer.

This Saturday, October 24, the festivities will kick off at Norton Town Hall, 70 East Main Street, and run right through the golden‑hour, from 2 p.m. until 6 p.m. Feel free to swing by early; the buzz builds fast.

Organizers are promising a whopping 100 vendors this year—think local artisans, bakers with fresh pies, and a parade of food trucks dishing out everything from caramel apples to tacos. It’s basically a marketplace mash‑up that lets you shop, snack, and linger all in one place.

There’s plenty to keep the kids (and the kid‑at‑heart) entertained, too. Expect colorful face painting, a lineup of live music that swings from folk to indie, and even a full‑service bar run by Bartending Service of New England for the adults who want a sip of something seasonal.

The whole idea behind Sip & Stroll is simple: give Norton residents a chance to support the makers, cooks, and creators who call this town home—all while soaking up some autumn vibes.

Best of all, the event is completely free and open to anyone who wants to wander, taste, and enjoy. Just bring a blanket, a friendly attitude, and maybe an umbrella—weather permitting, of course.
