If you are looking for things to do closer to home in the next couple of weeks, here is a chance to explore close to home. This special day encourages residents of Connecticut to learn more about the arts, culture and tourism in their state. Connecticut’s attractions, cultural organizations, shops, lodging properties and performing artists are inviting state residents to discover the state’s fascinating sites and activities during the 9th annual Connecticut Open House Day sponsored by the Department of Economic and Community Development’s Office of Tourism. On Saturday, June 8 this one-day statewide event is designed to showcase Connecticut’s diverse world of history, art, and tourism. It is a great way for residents to discover or rediscover all that is happening in our state. Once Connecticut residents learn about the wealth of treasures in their own backyard, they will hopefully share this newly gained appreciation and enthusiasm with visiting family and friends and become Connecticut ambassadors.
Throughout the day on June 8, more than 200 arts, history and tourism properties will roll out the welcome mat as they offer exhibits, dance classes, music, artist demonstrations, and performance events along with other special incentives. Many of these are free or a nominal charge. For a list of participating venues click here.
So spend some quality time with family, explore close to home or venture to a part of the state that you are less familiar with and enjoy all that Connecticut has to offer. Learn why Connecticut is Still Revolutionary!
