Something exciting is taking shape for November 10!

We're bringing together local clubs, nonprofits, volunteer groups, and community organizations for Find Your People: A Community Join Fair at the Garde Arts Center in New London.

The idea is simple: We all need connection, community, and a place to belong. Sometimes finding your people starts with showing up.

🎬 We'll begin with a screening of Join or Die, the acclaimed documentary about the power of community and connection, followed by a chance to meet local organizations and discover new ways to get involved.

And with 11 groups already signed up—and more on the way—there will be plenty to explore!

📅 Tuesday, November 10
📍 Garde Arts Center, New London
🕔 5:15–8:30 PM
🎟️ FREE admission! Tickets required.

Bank Square Books and The Garde Arts Center present and author talk and signing with Peter King for his book, The Game. Peter will be in conversation with Jeff Benedict.

TICKETS ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS EVENT.

With his signature blend of history, insider reporting, sharp opinion, and vivid anecdote, Peter King offers an extraordinary front-row-seat chronicle of the modern NFL, taking us into the defining moments, teams, controversies, and more.

For 40 years, Peter King’s unmatched access, curiosity, and passion have made him synonymous with the National Football League. He broke countless stories, giving us the human side of the sport and influencing countless reporters. Players trusted him; coaches and owners revealed information to him. He gathered it all into notebooks and columns that kept fans riveted.

A three-day weekend in October? We're making the most of this one!

From a blacklight corn maze (wear your neon!) to Fraggle Rock on stage, a Taylor Swift sing-along, and a free immersive art festival at The Bushnell, there's a little bit of everything happening around Connecticut.

You can also sample heirloom apples and take a Clydesdale wagon ride at Old Bishop Farm!

There are some great opportunities to celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day, too, including special programming at the Institute for American Indian Studies and a full day of exploring at the Connecticut Science Center.

And if you've got Monday off with the kids, even better!

Save this one for the long weekend, and find more family fun at the link in our bio.

1926 The Garde Arts Center Opening Night: A Night to Remember.

I’m so fortunate that I got to be the music director for the Garde Arts Center’s centennial celebration! It was such an incredible journey to bring this event to life, but it was incredible to see the whole community come together because they love this space, they love New London, and they love a good show!

This whole event would not have been possible without my incredible fiancée @carinjennieestey, from writing the script, designing the Mystic Lounge in the Oasis Room, to booking the jugglers and magicians and dancers, finding the costumes, stage managing the show, she’s a superhero and I’m so proud of her and all the work she put in to make this show happen.

The Garde really pulled out all the stops, literally! It was a joy to play percussion and foley sound effects with a live theater organist!

So blessed that New London is full of incredible talent, and that the Garde let me fill every space with some of the best jazz players in the area.

It really was A Night To Remember!
