Night Fall, Hartford’s annual community celebration of art, music, dance, nature, and seasonal change, returns to Hartford's beautiful Bushnell Park on Saturday, October 4 at 6:30pm. This free outdoor spectacular features artists and performers drawn from the Hartford area as well as eye-popping costumes, masks, and giant puppets.
Night Fall was created in 2012 to celebrate the city’s natural splendors and neighborhoods by rotating its annual presentation to public park sites throughout the city. This year’s production will be performed for the first time ever on the Bushnell Park Pavilion Stage on the Capitol Building side of Bushnell Park Centered in the belief that the arts and Hartford’s parks should be welcoming, inclusive, and accessible, Night Fall is free and open to all. For more information, visit NightFallHartford.org. The rain date is Sunday, October 5 at 6:30pm.
Focusing on the change of seasons, Night Fall takes the audience on a visual and musical journey. The show features dancers and actors appearing as a variety of animals and magical beings in scenes that reflect multiple community stories.
The fun begins at 4pm for guests to enjoy vendors, community organizations, art-making, and food trucks. Attendees should bring blankets and lawn chairs with picnicking encouraged. As part of Night Fall’s commitment to sustainability, audiences are urged to use multimodal transportation to come to the show including walking, riding a CT Transit bus, carpooling, scooting, or cycling. Ample free on-street and paid lot parking is available around the park. Limited free parking may be available in the State Capitol lot.
