Kick off the fall season at Greenburgh Nature Center’s Fall Festival! Enjoy family-friendly activities like a pumpkin and scarecrow walk, live music, crafts and games, a scavenger hunt, apple cider demonstrations and tastings and more. This fall favorite event is not to be missed!

Kick off the season in Essex with the annual TREES IN THE RIGGING Boat Parade. Following the Town of Essex Pandemic Task Force guidance, this year’s event will only feature the on-water boat parade. The traditional, lantern-lit carol stroll down Main Street will be back again once restrictions are lifted within the State of CT. To keep Santa and his elves safe, they will also be part of the on-water parade only. You can still make your own lantern! Click this link – Homemade Lantern Directions and follow the directions! The Connecticut River Museum will be open this evening for all to attend the 28th Annual Holiday Train Show. Our Museum Shop is open for Museum Shop Sunday. Remember that members always receive 10% off in our shop.
