Duo Laroo/Byrd
Saskia Laroo is an internationally known trumpet player from Amsterdam, who also plays bass and sax. Her musical styles range from jazz to dance, and from world to pop. She has released six CDs with electric and acoustic music on Laroo Records. She performs globally with her own formations or as a special guest.
A native of Hartford, CT and resident of Amsterdam, Warren Byrd is an Afro-American jazz pianist, vocalist and composer. He performs live and tours as a solo pianist and vocalist with his own band: the Byrdspeak Ensemble. Warren is co-leader with Jewish bassist and composer David Chevan of the Afro-Semitic Experience, as well as with Dutch trumpeter and composer Saskia Laroo in Duo Laroo/Byrd.
Underwater Kite is not your average Connecticut art gallery. In fact, it's not an average gallery anywhere. Fully unique and in a class all its own, UWK is the brainchild of artist and curator, Antony Zito working in partnership with Hartford’s “Artists in Real Time”, the nonprofit organization run by Cynthia Bulaong. Zito’s vibrant and diverse curatorial style brings a decidedly urban and edgy lilt to Windsor. 
Come early and view the current exhibition, “Tar &amp; Feathers” featuring over 100 artworks by 78 artists. It's full of deft humor, emotional depth, vibrant intellect, skillful craft and surprising moments - the perfect environment for summer evenings of jazz.

Come Celebrate Sustainability at the 2026 Windsor Eco Monarch Festival! Saturday September 12, 2026 from 11am to 3pm on the Windsor Town Green! 
Join us for the Windsor Eco Monarch Festival, a vibrant, family-friendly event celebrating sustainability, environmental awareness, and the protection of the endangered monarch butterfly. This unique festival brings together art, nature, and community for a fun and meaningful day in Windsor Center. 
About the Festival The Windsor Eco Monarch Festival is part of First Town Downtown and supports the Windsor Monarch Project. This initiative is dedicated to preserving the health of monarch butterflies through raise-and-release programs, creating pollinator habitats, and educating the public about their importance to our ecosystem. 
Butterflies are a key indicator of a healthy environment, and this festival helps raise awareness while bringing the community together. 
In addition to environmental benefits, butterfly habitats are a common point of interest for many tourists. Your investment in the Windsor Eco Monarch Festival will also serve as efforts to bring in more foot-traffic on the River Trail and in Windsor Center. The butterfly habitat will be a great addition for Windsor residents and visitors alike. 
Event Highlights * Over 30 eco-friendly vendors featuring artisan goods such as home décor, jewelry, natural skincare, nature photography, and items made from reused materials * Food trucks offering a variety of options * Live entertainment throughout the day * Electric vehicle display with opportunities to learn about eco-friendly transportation 
Family Activities Activities for all ages may include: * Butterfly-themed crafts * Rock painting and chalk art * Kids pollinator costume parade * Planting marigolds to take home * Face painting * Garden craft activities
