Spring in the Nutmeg State is such an amazing time. From the delicate cherry blossoms in New Haven’s Wooster Square to our gorgeous tulip farms and daffodils, the colors of spring in Connecticut are vivid and stunning. One place that’s great for celebrating the beauty of the season is Fairfield’s annual Dogwood Festival. This weekend-long festival has been delighting the area’s flower lovers for 85 years now. The 2022 event is scheduled for the weekend of May 7 and it’s sure to be a blast for the whole family! Make sure to mark your calendar, because this is one seasonal event you won’t want to miss.
