2023 Fall Festivals in Connecticut

0

A mother and daughter on a swing ride at a fall festival. It’s hard to believe it, but fall is almost upon us! I don’t know about you, but fall is far and beyond my favorite time of year. Kids are back to school (parents rejoice), the sweaters come out of storage, and it becomes acceptable to flavor everything with pumpkin spice. Another aspect of my love for fall is all of the fun festivals in our surrounding Connecticut towns.

Check out this list for some of the popular fall festivals going on during the months of September and October.
