The Danbury Farmers Market officially kicks off its 2026 season on Saturday, June 20, bringing fresh food, local vendors, live entertainment, and family activities back to downtown Danbury. This year's market will take place on the CityCenter Green at 1 Ives Street and will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., giving shoppers a little extra time to browse, shop, and enjoy everything the market has to offer.

More than 15 Connecticut vendors are expected to participate, offering everything from farm-fresh produce and eggs to flowers, plants, handmade crafts, jewelry, baked goods, and even locally produced wines. It's a chance to support local businesses while stocking up on some of the freshest products available in the region.

The opening day celebration will feature a ceremonial bell-ringing to officially launch the season, along with live music from Marc Berger and Ride. Their blend of roots rock, blues, country, and folk music should provide the soundtrack for what organizers hope will be a lively and welcoming atmosphere.

Families are encouraged to attend as well. Organizers have planned a dedicated Kid's Corner featuring games and activities designed to keep younger visitors entertained while parents shop and explore the vendor booths.

One thing market-goers won't have to worry about is the weather. Organizers say the market will operate rain or shine. If Mother Nature doesn't cooperate, the event will simply move to the fourth level of the Patriot Garage on Delay Street. Visitors can also take advantage of two hours of complimentary parking at the garage.

The market will continue every Saturday through October 17, giving residents and visitors plenty of opportunities to enjoy fresh local products and spend time in downtown Danbury throughout the summer and fall.

Exclusive Photos, Videos, and Interviews on the Set of New Milford Horror Movie

"Candlewood" is a horror film that just finished filming in New Milford, CT. This is how the filmmakers described the project on their Indiegogo:

"Candlewood is the first movie of three in the psychological/horror feature film franchise. A blended family moves from the city to a small town in Connecticut, where a local urban legend adds chaos and terror to an already fragile family dynamic. The staunch patriarch, who desperately wants his family to not see him as a failure but as the father that did everything, he could to keep his family together through difficult times. Candlewood follows a family leaving New York City for a simpler life in the country town of New Milford, CT. The haunting and mysterious true stories of missing hikers near a popular state park, Lover's Leap, coupled with the town of Jerusalem sitting at the bottom of Candlewood Lake gives credibility to our narrative. We bring to life the struggle of good vs evil and what happens when lifelong, outdated traditions are challenged."

A while back I got in touch with the folks behind the movie, invited them on the I-95 Morning Show with Ethan, Lou and Dave and talked about the film, and shooting in New Milford. We spoke with Director Myke Furhman and Writer/Executive Producer Victoria Flores-Argue. During that discussion, I demanded to be in the movie, telling the duo that I have some experience acting on TV shows that never actually made it onto TV. Against all odds, they did invite me to participate and I visited the set on October 20th to shoot a scene that is important. I was extremely nervous and I had zero idea of what I was in for. Below are some insider moments from my day on-set and from others.

Lost Blue Shirt Discovered on Shore of Candlewood Lake Island in Brookfield

On the priority-list of lost items, this is somewhere at the bottom but I figured it was worth a shot. If you're missing a blue shirt with white stripes on the sleeves, it's on this island on Candlewood Lake, somewhere in Brookfield.
