SIMSBURY, CT — The local community officially bid adieu to the summer of 2024 on Saturday, a summer that ends Wednesday, Aug. 28, when school starts.

Hosted by the Simsbury Culture, Parks, and Recreation Department, the "End of Summer Blast at Simsbury Farms" is a local tradition that brings the community together for one final summer fling before the routine of school dominates folks' lives.
