Weekday Picks for Connecticut Kids: Classic Cars, Turtles and a Family Musical May 18-22
Memorial Day weekend is coming up and there's lots going on this week to get you ready for the holiday.

We only highlight one event per day in this post, but there are many other suggestions in our Event Calendar. Camps still have spaces open so be sure to check out our Camp Guide for info on day and sleepaway camp options.
