We saw carnival rides, carnival games, children's activities, two stages of live music, booths from 26 garlic growers, 97 Specialty Food Stands, 8 Soap vendors, 14 Food Court vendors, 60 craft vendors, 16 Snack Food Vendors, 12 Jewelry vendors, and 9 "miscellaneous" vendors. We walked around for an hour and picked up an eclectic group of stuff -a chili soup mix, a cinnamon chocolate chip bread, a salted caramel coconut beer blondie, a salted pretzel knot, two Asian dumplings, and a cup of chocolate Italian ices. It was outstanding, simply outstanding.

But when your wife and kids ask you to do something, you normally do. This fair was in Ansonia.Yesterday was the last day, I'm not sure how often they do this fair, I think it's once or twice a year. Lots of activities for the kids, lots of vendors, and my favorite the food trucks. It were too. We ended up getting from the melting truck. Deliciously made grilled cheeses with lots of options. They put a nice cheese crust on top to give it a little extra flavor. They were also multiple different stage shows from magic, to fighting, to singing. Many people were dressed up as fantasy characters or in medieval garments. Others like myself or just dress to be comfortable. Either way it was a good time. Looking forward to seeing what other Renaissance Festival's are like.

There was a corn maze; $11 for ages 13+, free for 3 and under. The maze was fun but crowded at some points; they had trivia questions with the Peanuts theme. There were a couple of food trucks when we went (Soulfully Vegan and New Haven Food Truck), there was a kettle corn stand, face painting, etc. we got cider from there which was good, kettle corn was amazing, and the New Haven Pizza was bomb dot com. They had a $5 ride on a train which was very cute, especially for the kids. They had a store but we didn't go in because it was too crowded and we had a stroller. The property was gorgeous and the turn out for the festival was great. There were a ton of people and parking was ample, they had people guiding us. Overall, a fun festival to kick off the fall.

There was plenty of seating - if you also include the benches and fountain - and great vendors to choose from. I appreciated the diversity, and it was great to be reminded - by smell and taste! - of the variety Glastonbury has to offer. For $7, the ribs at J. Gilbert's was a solid choice. They practically fell off the bone, and the sauce was complementary without being overwhelming. Some other items were a little pricey for the portions, though. There were only two beers to choose from - Sam Summer and Ten Penny - and a few more wines. I'm kind of surprised they charged $1 for the ID band. They don't even do that in NYC! A quintessential local event. It was very fun and tasty. Great people watching, as well.

I been going to this Festival for the last 12 years, which means I have gone to this Festival 6 times now. Yes, It is $10.00 to get in. And you do have to pay for your beer & food also once you get it. But, People this event helps keep this club open and pays for the entertainment that you get to dance to or simply just listen to as you enjoy your Beer & Food. So yes you end up spending around $32.00 dollars which pretty much the same as a night out to dinner with friends at a cheap restaurant. I like going to this Festival its a fun time and its nice to support this club it helps people to be able to hold on to their culture. So I'll be back in two years!

Everyone working the event from the front gate, to the time we left was so amazingly nice and courteous!!! There was plenty of seating and lots of shade made for much easier beer drinking. Nice area for kids with activities and face painting, plenty of wonderful music and dancing. I can see how much planning goes into an event like this, and why it's only every two years. I will definitely attend the 2020 festival, and you should to!!!

The Water Lantern Festival would've been a magical night had it not had a downpour. Then again, looking at it at a different perspective, it could've been a cleansing too. The event opened at 4:30p and was set to end at 8:30p. We managed to walk around and check out the vendors and then the food trucks. Sadly Cousins Maine was shut down. I was really looking forward to trying them out. The lines for each food truck after that was incredibly long. Expect about 20-30min wait time to order. I was able to set up a couple folding chairs on a mat by the water which was great. Right before six, the weather forecast took a turn so on my way back to the car, it started to pour heavily. By the time I returned my youngest at 6 years old was crying and cold and we were forced to make a decision to leave. I saw on the Facebook page that the launch will continue as planned. No plans of delaying which was such a bummer. Luckily I didn't live all too far and was able to go home, change and come back and enjoy the festival with 10 minutes to spare. Forget about the food we bought that was all drenched and tossed. I wish that the festival could have reschedule since this event signifies someone's wish, prayer and hopes. After all, wasn't it created for that purpose?

I liked the bracelets, blanket, cards and lanterns provided at the checkpoint in the cute drawstring bag. The food trucks choices were great. We ended up going with chicken tenders,fries and mini donuts! Delicious! The best experience was when we launched our lanterns while listening to the very appropriate music! Very hard to explain but you definitely have to experience! I would recommend this event to everyone and looking forward to attend again!

"Has anyone seen lightning Has anyone looked lovely…read moreAnd the daffodils looked lovely today" (Dolores O'Riordan -The Cranberries) This is a mixed review for a few reasons. The first reason may not be the Daffodil Festival's fault, but our initial impression of the festival took a serious hit when our GPS told us where to exit I-691 and immediately ran into a detour that prevented us from taking the necessary right turn to get to the designated parking lots. Where were the detour signs from/for the Daffodil Festival helping would be customers figure out how to get there? Where were the LED message boards that I see every year at the Traveler's Open helping to direct traffic? Where was anything that would have helped us a perplexed would be visitor like me? We ended up getting back onto 691 and the next exit took us to the parking lots, but we just kind of lucked into that on our own. And to be honest, we came THISCLOSE to saying "screw it" and bailing. Then things went a lot better. There is no parking on the festival grounds, but shuttle buses can pick you up at either the Meriden Mall or one of three schools. We parked at the high school and after a short wait, got onto a school bus for the ride to Hubbard Park and the festival. We walked in around 1:00 and the festival was very crowded, nothing more crowded than the massive line to get tickets for the food stations. The line was so big, we looked at each other and agreed on the spot it wasn't worth the wait to get a burger or a dog or a slice. But we did spend a lot of time walking through the festival grounds, visiting with the vendors, and strolling around beautiful Hubbard Park. I'm glad we went, the daffodils were in full bloom and were quite beautiful, we enjoyed chatting with the vendors and some of the live music, and the sights around Hubbard Park and Craig Castle. Hope you have a better experience than we did.
