The Webster Theater has been consistently presenting some of Hartford's most memorable live shows for years–and that tradition shows no signs of stopping. From seasoned blues artists like Buddy Guy to some of today's more cutting edge acts like Panic at the Disco and Aaron Lewis, you will find that the marquee at this popular live music and nightlife venue always features an appealing yet eclectic schedule of performers.
If its live music you want, then the Comcast Theatre in Hartford is where you need to be. This large yet inviting entertainment venue is where the biggest artists play when their big tour rolls through town. Everyone from Elton John to Rod Stewart to U2 to Justin Bieber have all graced the stage in this popular and iconic facility. Parking may be a bit of an issue on the night of a big show, so make plans to arrive early or check the website for possible shuttles to and from the theater. And, the website is also the best place to find out about upcoming shows and ticket purchasing information.
Mountain bikers in Hartford enjoy a trek through Penwood State Park. Located approximately 9 miles northwest of Hartford off Connecticut Highway 185, the recreation trail is as challenging as it is picturesque. To the west, the trail approaches edges of cliffs, so extreme caution is strongly advised. Less experienced riders should steer clear of (or carefully through) the single track trails.
Going to a performance at the Bushnell is like escaping into a world where the focus is on the spotlighted stage and the stellar performances that take place there. The venue has long been Connecticut's premiere performing arts center, and the impressive number of productions that are scheduled throughout the year attest to that fact. So if you and your significant other love dressing up and enjoying a romantic date night filled with unforgettable performances, don't be late for the show at the Bushnell!
