If you were planning on relaxing at home this Saturday and Sunday, better forget it. There’s just too much fun to be had this weekend throughout the state. The days are getting longer and warmer, so grab the kids and go make some memories. Put on a party hat and join the fun at the Chester Spring Festival, make art at the Wadsworth, lace up your hiking boots and enjoy the outdoors, or show your Huskies pride at the UConn game.

Remember, our Event Calendar is constantly updated with the best activities around the state. To keep up with everything going on in CT for kids, subscribe to our FREE newsletters, and follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. Have a fantastic weekend!

Living in New England, we are privileged to dwell in the birthplace of American literature. As Hartford County residents, my family and I enjoy close proximity to the home of one of the most entertaining literary voices: Mark Twain. Though lavishly designed and furnished, his Hartford mansion is a place where children were obviously comfortable, as are today’s young visitors. It might also spark (or strengthen) a lifelong love of reading. This is a museum worth visiting.
