September 29th-October 1, 2017
There’s always something fun to do in Connecticut, and this weekend is no different from the rest.
If you’ve got a little one tagging along with you this weekend, there’s plenty for you to do to keep them happy and entertained. Bring them down to The CT Renaissance Faire for the last Renaissance fair of the season, or head to the Florence Griswold Museum for their Wee Fairy Village. Got older kids? If they’re up for a Halloween scare, bring them to The Haunted Graveyard at Lake Compounce and bond over screams.
In the mood for a show? You’ve got quite a few to choose from! The Script and Luis Fonsi are both performing at Foxwoods, Halsey and Tony Bennett are at Mohegan Sun, Nick DiPaolo and Larry Gatlin are at the Ridgefield Playhouse, The Growlers have a show at College Street Music Hall, and The Book of Mormon is being performed at the Shubert Theatre.
Want to do something truly different? Head to Chowdafest in Westport and try the many different kinds of clam chowder that CT loves. Or head out on a Swallow Sunset Cruise with the Essex Steam Train & Riverboat, or one of the many cruises offered by the Maritime Aquarium, including TGIF Cruises, Marine Life Encounter Cruises, and Sunset Cruises.
Check out the calendar below to see the full list of fun events happening in Connecticut this weekend and month.

Shubert Theatre
247 College Street, New Haven
Shubert Theatre247 College Street, New HavenThe Shubert Theatre had its genesis in the New Theatre, an “art” playhouse located on Central Park West that was devoted to serious repertory drama. Although the project was a critical and commercial flop, the New Theatre Group, which included Lee Shubert, leased a plot of land between 44th and 45th street to construct a new venue. The plan was abandoned, but Lee Shubert and Winthrop Ames, a former New Theatre partner, acquired a lease for the site, and built two adjoining playhouses there. Lee and J.J. operated the larger of the two auditoriums, which they named the Sam S. Shubert Memorial Theatre to commemorate their brother, who had died in May 1905. Ames managed the smaller Booth Theatre.

Event Details
The Irish trio had been rocking a creative routine: album, hit singles, tour… album, hit singles, tour… And it had worked: songs like For The First Time, Hall Of Fame, Breakeven and Superheroes had been smashes on a global scale. The Script’s combined YouTube views are one billion, and they’ve had three UK Number One albums. It adds up to a band who are that rarest of things: streaming-era superstars, beloved of any number of inspirational playlists; self-produced singer-songwriters, album artists in the traditional sense; and a huge, all-ages, all-sexes, arena-filling live phenom.
Tickets are $45, $0, and $70.
