Fourth Of July Events

Image
If you are looking for ways to celebrate the Fourth of July this year, you should know about all these events! In this post, I will be discussing all the events that are happening on or around the Fourth of July in Westchester County, Dutchess County, and Fairfield County, as I feel these are the closest to where all of you reading live, and hopefully what I write about will convince you to go to any one of these events. As many of you have probably guessed, a lot of the events in this post will be fireworks, and I will be sharing all the details about each different firework event that will be happening. Some of these events are more than just fireworks, and I will go more into detail as I write about each event. On July 2, the city of White Plains is going to have its Annual Independence Day Celebration at the White Plains High School. This is an event that goes from 6:30 PM-10:00 PM, and has a variety of entertainment for families, such as a performance from the Stolen Moments Enter...

Stamford Downtown Farmers Market

Image
In the past, I have made several posts about farmers markets in the area, and today I am going to make another one! This one is in my favorite place in Connecticut, the city of Downtown Stamford. It used to be located on Bedford Street, but they moved it to a new location a few years ago. While I don’t know the exact reason, my guess is that they ran out of room with all the restaurants on the street offering outdoor dining at the same time. It is now located at Veterans Memorial Park on Atlantic Street, which is in front of the Stamford Town Center. In this post, I will be talking about the vendors that are listed on the event’s website and what they sell and finishing off with some additional information. The first vendor that is part of it according to the website is Amelia’s Florist & Farm Market from East Haven, which as their name suggests, sells a variety of flowers and fresh produce. The next vendor that is listed on the website is Anderson + Joy from Norwich, Connecticut. ...

Norwalk Seaport Association

If you are looking for something fun to do this summer, head on over to Norwalk, Connecticut! For the entire months of June, July, August, and September, the Norwalk Seaport Association will be offering several boat rides on the waters of Norwalk that go to Sheffield Island, which features a historic lighthouse. In this blog post, I will be talking about all the boat rides that they offer and the events they have coming up, and hopefully what I say will convince you to go on any of the exciting cruises they offer. One of the first boat rides that they offer is a special one on June 30, which is a bird watching tour through Norwalk Harbor. The boat leaves the dock at 7:30 AM, and from there it will take you on a two-and-a-half-hour cruise of the Norwalk Islands. On this tour, you will see a variety of different types of birds, as well as nest sites and nesting colonies of birds like ospreys, egrets, American oystercatchers, herons, terns, gulls, cormorants, and many others. This tour is...

Alive At Five 2024

Image
As many of you might remember, at the beginning of the year, I made a series of blog posts about Alive at Five in Stamford. One was about the history of the event, and three were about artists that would be great for the event. The last time I mentioned it was in my post about events that will be happening in Stamford Downtown this summer, and now I can share with you all that the shows for this year have been announced! There will be three shows this year on three Thursdays this summer, and I will be sharing with you all who will be performing, and why you should go! On July 25, the first show will be a performance from reggae rock band Sublime with Rome. As their name suggests, they are a spinoff of legendary 90s reggae rock band Sublime. They got their name because they started off as a collaboration between former Sublime members Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh and lead singer and guitarist Rome Ramirez, and the fact that they specifically perform songs by Sublime. There are many people ...
