The annual Fall Fair is one of the city's most popular events and is now in its 54th year. Located at the New Canaan Nature Center, the fair is a creative and welcoming way to embrace the turn of the season. The two-day event has carnival rides, a zip line, pumpkin carving, and more on its list of activities.
Getting around New Canaan
The city isn't crisscrossed with interstates and is relatively quiet thanks to its location. There are a handful of roads that converge in downtown New Canaan. The nearest major roadway is the Merritt Parkway, about three miles from the center of town.
