Area Guide
Wooster Square/Mill River is located on New Haven's east side, just a short walk from Yale University. Mill River is to the east, and Long Wharf is to the south. Wooster Square is an artsy and energetic neighborhood, complete with a historic district at its heart. The Wooster Square Historic District contains some stunning architecture along a beautiful, cherry-tree-filled park. Many of the elegant homes and brownstone apartment buildings date back to the mid-1800s.
Wooster Square Park hosts the annual Cherry Blossom Festival to celebrate the Japanese Cherry Trees planted here in 1973. The over 70 trees create a beautiful setting for the festival, which includes exhibits, activities, live music, and food. This event attracts about 10,000 visitors. The park also hosts the weekly farmers' market.
