The Connecticut Garlic & Harvest Festival is a popular annual fall event held each October at the Bethlehem Fairgrounds. For over two decades, garlic lovers and families have enjoyed cooking demonstrations, garlic-growing talks, and live music. Visitors can browse specialty vendors with dips, oils, cheeses, spreads, and fresh produce, many offering free samples. The food court serves creative garlic-infused dishes like pizza, sliders, sausage with peppers, deep-fried garlic, and even garlic ice cream. Rides, games, and kids’ activities add to the fun, and the festival is designed to be accessible and welcoming to all.

The Portland Agricultural Fair is a Connecticut tradition each October, celebrating local agriculture with livestock shows, tractor and truck pulls, antique displays, and family-friendly attractions. Visitors enjoy a petting zoo, pony rides, acrobatic acts, live animal shows, carnival rides, games, and classic fair food, all set to the sounds of local music in a lively, welcoming atmosphere.

The Haddam Neck Fair is one of Connecticut’s major agricultural fairs, run entirely by a dedicated all-volunteer team. It began in 1910 with a small event organized by the Haddam Neck Grange No. 177 in Bailey’s Field. In 1911, the Grange Agricultural Association purchased land on Quarry Hill Road and built the Grange Hall, which still serves as the heart of the fairgrounds today. Over time, the fair has grown from a two-day local gathering to a four-day celebration filled with attractions for all ages.
