Celebrate Woodbridge with Woodbridge Fallapalooza!

Many fun events remain in this month-long celebration

Celebrate Woodbridge with Woodbridge Fallapalooza, a month-long series of events that highlights many of the great things about Woodbridge.

Woodbridge Fallapalooza is the coming together of many long-standing events with new events that highlight the Town’s business community, its strong volunteer base and our heritage.

“Fallapalooza highlights what so many of us know – that Woodbridge is an excellent place to live, work and play,” said First Selectman Scalettar. “It’s also a great demonstration of the community spirit and cooperation among so many different local organizations.”
