Get your veg on at Connecticut’s Old State House Farmers Market. Nestled on the East brick plaza near the lawn you can peruse some delicious treats from a variety of vendors, listen to some tunes from local musicians, and then you can explore the oddities inside at the Museum of Curiosities. There’s a two headed calf in there, just sayin’.

Put two eggs in your basket, or two feathers in your hat, or two peppers in your peck of pickles and check out the Old State House’s Summer Concert Series with live musical performances during their Friday market.

Dive into The Deep End every Friday night when Sea Tea Improv’s dedicated cast of improvisers put on a totally unique show based entirely on your suggestions.
