Pep Boys

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.

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.

It isn't uncommon to hear about garden shows. They seem to happen in nearly every city in the country. However, the one Connecticut Flower & Garden Show has built up a solid reputation as one of the most prestigious shows of its kind. Visitors are treated to the visual allure of several breathtaking gardens that are designed by some of Connecticut's most respected horticulturalists. The gardens are presented over 3 acres and include not only floral presentations but several exhibits that educate visitors about new gardening products and services. This popular festival is usually held every February.
