About the Event
The K.E. Goodwin PTA and OSMS PTO are excited to bring the first-ever Saybrook SunFest Carnival Fundraiser to Old Saybrook. This community-wide event was created to bring joy, connection, and a little bit of magic to our town while raising meaningful funding for Old Saybrook public school children.
Families can enjoy traditional carnival rides, games, food, and a Ferris wheel overlooking beautiful Saybrook Point. The event is being held at the former Dock & Dine property through the generosity of Jon Kodama and The Point LLC, who have allowed the PTA and PTO to use the space while it remains under their ownership.
Proceeds from Saybrook SunFest will support student programming, enrichment opportunities, future community events, Safe Grad, and future initiatives for Old Saybrook children.
What to Expect
- Carnival rides
- Ferris wheel at Saybrook Point
- Games and family fun
- Food vendors
- A community fundraiser for Old Saybrook students

Why This Matters
Saybrook SunFest is more than a carnival. It is a chance for our community to come together in support of the children of Old Saybrook. After months of planning and working through many logistical challenges, the PTA and PTO are grateful for the opportunity to create a fun and memorable experience for local families while helping fund programs and opportunities for students.
With Gratitude
This event would not be possible without the support, generosity, and partnership of community members, organizations, local businesses, and town leaders. We are especially grateful to M & J Knot Co. and Saye-Brooke Goods Co. for creating the exclusive Saybrook SunFest Collection, and to Cahill Septic for helping make this event possible through their support of our sanitation services.
