It's an autumn pilgrimage, a place where heritage blends seamlessly with the season’s natural beauty. As the leaves shift from green to gold, Clyde’s becomes a beacon for those who crave tradition, history, and the unparalleled taste of freshly pressed cider.

When autumn paints Connecticut in golden hues, there’s one tradition that stands out as a must-attend event: The Durham Fair. Held every year since 1916, this iconic fair has grown into Connecticut’s largest agricultural fair, drawing crowds from all over New England. From livestock shows and world-class entertainment to mouth-watering fair food and family-friendly activities, The Durham Fair is a celebration of all things rural and local. Here’s everything you need to know to make the most of your visit to this beloved event.

As the summer crowds retreat, the Connecticut shoreline transforms into an autumnal paradise, its landscapes ablaze with shades of red, orange, and gold.

The Connecticut shoreline has a rich and fascinating history that spans thousands of years. From the indigenous peoples who first inhabited the area to the arrival of European settlers, the shoreline has played a significant role in shaping the history of Connecticut and the United States as a whole.

Have friends visiting from NYC this summer, skip the usual beach traffic on 95 and instead hop on a flight with Shoreline Aviation.
