Fairs And Festivals Are Returning To CT In 2021
Here is a list of many of the upcoming fairs and festivals scheduled for Connecticut this summer and fall.
CONNECTICUT — With Connecticut poised to ease some coronavirus restrictions in May, several fairs and festivals which were canceled last year due to the pandemic are preparing to make a comeback in 2021.
Some protocols will remain in place, such as mask wearing in certain situations.
With vaccination rates high in the state, event organizers are gearing up. Connecticut as of last week ranked second in the nation for administering the most coronavirus vaccines per capita.
