Mostly Free and Fun Things to do in CT with Kids This Weekend October 5-6: Apple Festival, Farm Days, Touch-A-Truck and Parades
Submitted by Pam Hegner on
October is a fantastic month in Connecticut, especially if you have kids. The activities are endless, and Mommy Poppins CT is your best resource. Our October Go List, Guide to Apple Picking and CT Halloween and Fall Fun Guide will help you make autumn a memorable season.
Most of our suggestions are free and inexpensive. However, if you aren't careful, this month can put a real strain on the budget. The National Retail Federation estimates Americans will spend $6.9 billion on Halloween, second only to Christmas spending. Decor, costumes, candy, and activities can be costly, so read our post on Halloween Costume Swaps for Kids; Where to Find Free, New-to-you Costumes to save some cash.
Our events calendar is always updated with the latest happenings, and here are suggestions for this weekend!
