Updated for 2018

Fall is quickly approaching.  There is so much to do in Connecticut during the autumn months. Apples, pumpkins, foliage, festivals — Connecticut has plenty of fall fun. I’ve created a list of family-friendly fall events & activities in and around Connecticut.

Some of these events are new for the 2018 fall season and some are old favorites. I have a few new ones that I want to visit this year. How about you?
