Weekends in Connecticut: At the Movies, Events, Fairs, Live Music & MORE!

My hands down and up movie pick of the weekend is RESPECT starring Jennifer Hudson as Aretha Franklin! She was handpicked by the Queen of Soul herself before she passed away to play her!

Make Stamford a destination this and next weekend – and a reminder to bring your masks for the 4th Annual 2021 Hey Stamford!

Don’t miss the Peach Brew Fest on the Farm this Sunday at Lyman Orchards

It’s their inaugural Peach Brew Fest on the Farm, presented by Lyman Orchards and the CT Brewers Guild. There will be more than 15 Connecticut breweries participating, along with food trucks and live music. Some of the breweries will be brewing and showcasing beers made with Lyman Orchards peaches grown right at the farm.

General admission tickets will get you samples from all the breweries on-site, and we ask that everyone enjoys their brews responsibly

All proceeds generated from the festival go to the CT Brewers Guild, an organization by brewers and for brewers, to help further the goals of the Craft Beer movement in Connecticut, and Lyman Orchards who in its 280th year, is a family-favorite destination for Pick Your Own, our Farm market, championship, and beginner golf and much more!
