Event Details

The New Canaan Farmers Market is celebrating its 24th season. The market will open on Saturday, April 23, 2022 and continue through November 19, pending weather conditions, from 10:00am to 2:00pm every Saturday, rain or shine. Nestled on the edge of downtown New Canaan, with a quick stroll to the market, one can easily see why it was voted “2005 Best Farmers Market of the Gold Coast” by the readers of the Moffly Publications local magazines and 2006 Best Farmers Market of Fairfield County by the readers of Fairfield County Weekly newspaper. From the scrumptious smell of a perfectly ripened peach to the ever-tantalizing tastings of the freshly-made pesto and tomato samples, it will be hard to resist such simply elegant cuisine. Edgewood Knives sharpens while you shop for the freshest CT grown fruits and vegetables from Gazy Brothers Farm, Smith’s Acres, Woodland Farm, Highridge Hydroponics, organic produce from Riverbank Farm, Copps Island’s clams and oysters, fresh pork, eggs, beef from Ox Hollow Farm, fiber and more from Henny Penny Farm, baked goods from various artisan bakers, Bongo and Capacci gourmet ravioli, Paul’s Custom Pet Foods, The Bee Love Project, Bee’s Knees Gourmet ice pops, annuals and perennials, goats’ milk soap products from Goatboy Soaps, fresh cut herbs and flowers, Seacoast Mushrooms, East Coast Kombucha, Raus Coffee, Chaga Cola, and so much more.

Event Details

The 37th annual WILI “BOOM BOX PARADE” begins at 11:00 a.m. on July 4th, beginning at Jillson Square in downtown Willimantic, marching westbound for 2/3 mile to Memorial Park. It’s THE LARGEST PARADE OF ITS KIND IN THE WORLD!
The 36rd annual WILI “BOOM BOX PARADE” returned to Main Street in Willimantic in 2021. The parade went virtual in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic (for details, see below). For pictures of the 2021 WILI July 4th Boom Box Parade, go to the “WILI Boom Box Parade” facebook page.
In 1986, no marching band could be found for Windham’s Memorial Day Parade. Five weeks later, the “Boom Box Parade” concept was born, as WILI-AM radio played the marching band music on the air, while thousands marched and watched, loudly playing their radios (boom boxes). No other town has a parade like this.
Anyone can march or enter a float in “Connecticut’s Unique People’s Parade.” The only requirement is to wear some red, white, and blue, and bring a radio tuned to WILI (1400-AM). And now, the parade music is simulcast on WILI-AM’s FM translator at 95.3 FM. American flags are encouraged. There is no “official” theme for the parade.
Formation for the Boom Box Parade starts at Jillson Square on Main Street around 9:00 on July 4th. No pre-registration is necessary. The parade runs seven tenths of a mile west on Main Street to Memorial Park. Safety guidelines include no water spraying, no throwing candy (but candy can be handed out), and no reckless operator behavior.
