This CT Folk Fest and Green Expo is celebrating their 30th anniversary this year! Here are some of my favorite highlight photos of their annual signature evert which takes place in Edgerton Park. All of these photos were taken during the 2023 Folk Fest and Green Expo on September 9. Visit CT Folk’s website for more info here.

I put a link at the bottom of this post to the expanded album with all of the photos that I took yesterday. You can download those images if you or someone you know is in them.

CT Folk Fest and Green Expo010 — Kyle was on Paw Paw Patrol, but in all seriousness, he’s holding a paw paw, which is a fruit he grew in his back yard. Kyle actually gave me that paw paw he’s holding. I think it was a mixture of his generosity and my curiosity. I ate the fruit today and it was very good. It’s kind of like a cross between a mango, a passion fruit, and a melon.
