Connecticut Events 2026
Connecticut’s orchards and farms carry fall right up to November 1. Lyman Orchards in Middlefield and Bishop’s Orchards in Guilford are two of the bigger ones, and Lake Compounce in Bristol runs its Phantom Fall Fest as well.
November moves indoors and toward Christmas: the New England Christmas Festival in Uncasville, the Festival of Trees in Danbury and the Holly Berry Festival in Hamden. On the coast, Stonington lights a tree built from lobster traps on November 21. Thanksgiving morning is the Manchester Road Race.
