Here is the curated event calendar for August. As always, check with the venue/organizer to ensure that details have not changed:
ADD TO CALENDAR
- BOOKS ON PRATT: Street fair featuring local authors. Expect poetry readings and live music. Free. August 7, 2021 from 12-5 PM on Pratt Street. This event is organized by Barnes & Noble UConn Hartford Bookstore and Hartford.com
- BLUES OUTSIDE: Hugh Holmes, Jr., AKA Professor Harp, will be singing and playing harmonica at the Connecticut Historical Society on August 19, 2021, from 6-7 PM. Bring your own seating and a picnic dinner, or buy refreshments off the food truck. In the event of rain, the concert will move indoors. This is free.
