Festivals

For some, when the crocuses sprout from the ground, that's a sure indicator that spring is on its way. For us here in Eastern Connecticut, we don't necessarily pay attention to the calendar to decide if the season has changed.  We have our own barometers and signs that the warmer weather is just around the corner!  Check out some of these spring time seasonal rites of passage.

This time of year we have the envy of all our friends, family and acquaintances living in California, Florida, Texas and Hawaii. Granted, they get these crisp temps in Northern California, but they don't have sugar maples crowning their day-to-day lives with explosions of color.  No.  October is when all those folks wish they were HERE, clutching that steaming cider and cracking up as the kids trip through the pumpkin patches.  Aside from all the fantastic farms and corn mazes you can visit, there are several fall festivals popping up all month long, all over Fairfield County.
