Greet the Fall at Ansonia Nature Center’s Autumn Festival

Autumn time is here, and Ansonia Nature and Recreation Center invites you to their annual Autumn Festival, taking place on October 19, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Celebrate this new season with the staff and the Friends of the Ansonia Nature Center (FANCI) at the free event.
Walk the haunted trail to the Goldenrod Maze and play games at the picnic pavilion before boarding the horse-drawn wagon ride. Enjoy lunch from one of the food vendors, and be sure to stop by FANCI’s table to purchase apple cider donuts and pressed cider. Learn about creepy crawly animals from one of the center’s naturalists, visit the Nature Shop to buy nature-related items, and enter the living history encampment to chat with one of the Revolutionary War soldiers.
This festival will feature nature-related exhibitors, vendors and a live animal petting zoo. You can decorate a pumpkin, make original crafts and even have your face painted. All proceeds will benefit the Nature Center’s upcoming projects. There is no park admission fee. Sponsored in part by the Friends of the Ansonia Nature and Recreation Center and the City of Ansonia. The rain date is Sunday, October 20.
