Milford
is located in southwest Connecticut on Long Island Sound. As of the 2010 census, the population was 52,759. Milford is located between Bridgeport and New Haven and contains the borough of Woodmont and the village of Devon. The town is well-known for its annual Oyster Festival, which takes place on the Milford Green, and various other places throughout the town. The festival combines the festive spirit of a typical small town fair with the culinary experiences of the town's abundant seafood restaurants. The Milford Oyster Festival also features canoe and kayak races, a classic car show and a variety of musical performances. The city of Milford is home to a thriving arts community with venues at the Milford Cultural Center, operated by the Milford Council for the Arts, and the Firehouse Art Gallery, located in the community of Devon. Milford also offers over 14 miles of spectacular shoreline facing Long Island Sound, with five public beaches and seven private beaches. One of the most popular beaches is Silver Sands State Park. A new boardwalk opened in 2011 at Silver Sands State Park that connects Silver Sands to Walnut Beach in Devon. Charles Island is also a part of the park and includes a protected bird nesting ground. The city of Milford also owns three islands in the Housatonic River: Fowler Island, Duck Island and Nells Island.
