WOODBRIDGE, CT — Woodbridge throws its biggest community celebration of the year on Saturday, and Bethany answers with a nearly 260-year-old farm's fall pumpkin patch for anyone who wants to spend the weekend outdoors. Beyond that, both towns are genuinely quiet.
This Weekend's Arts & Entertainment
- Woodbridge Like Me Day — Saturday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The town's sixth annual celebration of its diversity fills the Green with a main-stage lineup (the Beecher Road School Band, a Chinese Children's Choir, Bollywood dance, a world champion Taekwondo demonstration), a chalk art festival along Meetinghouse Lane, a noon Runway Show of local residents, yoga and face painting, plus food trucks including Ay! Arepa and Freskos Greek. Free; rain location is Amity Regional High School. Woodbridge Town Green, 4 Meetinghouse Lane, Woodbridge.
- Fall Fun at Clover Nook Farm — Thursday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. A ninth-generation, nearly 260-year-old family farm opens its U-pick pumpkin patch for the season, alongside apple cider, mums, corn stalk bundles and other fall decorations. Clover Nook Farm, 50 Fairwood Road, Bethany.
Between a Green full of chalk art and choirs and a farm stand's worth of pumpkins, there's a real weekend here even without a single restaurant or bar special to point to.
