51st Annual Essex Day Festival

A Tradition Half a Century in the Making

Born in 1975 as “Super Sunday,” Essex Day began with a single mission: to restore the historic Ballestone-Stansbury House. Five decades later, that spark has grown into the ultimate celebration of our community! Today, Essex Day is the heartbeat of Eastern Boulevard—a vibrant showcase for local businesses and a beloved staple for families. Driven by the passion of our incredible volunteers, we continue to prove every year that the spirit of Essex is stronger than ever.
