Columbus Day Weekend Festival Benefits Special Olympics of Connecticut

Chowder, foliage and music at Mystic Seaport’s annual Chowderfest
Chowderfest
Celebrate the changing seasons by enjoying an afternoon of cool sea air and steaming hot “chowda” at Mystic Seaport’s annual Chowderfest, Saturday, October 11, through Monday, October 13, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

On the menu are traditional New England, Rhode Island and Manhattan chowders; additional seafood specialties, including lobster salad rolls and a raw bar; non-seafood items such as hamburgers; seasonal desserts and beer, wine and apple cider. Menu items range from $2 to $8. The cost of food is in addition to Museum admission.

Chowder isn’t the only thing served up at Mystic Seaport Columbus Day weekend. Stroll through the village, climb aboard tall ships and enjoy live music from Finest Kind. Bring the kids to enjoy a “clammy” art project and story time in the Children’s Museum. Play 19th-century games on the Village Green and learn about the late summer stars under the Planetarium dome. Take a cruise aboard our 100-year-old steamboat Sabino for the last time this season and get a closer look at the colorful autumn foliage.

Chowderfest proceeds benefit Mystic Seaport and Special Olympics Connecticut. Support for Chowderfest is provided in part by Cabot Creamery and Coca-Cola of Southeastern New England.

Mystic Seaport – The Museum of America and the Sea – is the nation’s leading maritime museum. Explore American maritime history firsthand and climb aboard historic tall ships, stroll through a re-created 19th-century coastal village or watch a working preservation shipyard in action. Admission is $18.50 for adults and $13 for children ages 6-17. Children five and under are free. The Museum is located one mile south of exit 90 off I-95 in Mystic, CT.
