The festivities kick off at 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29, at the the field at St. Ann Church, 481 Brewster Street, in the heart of Bridgeport’s Black Rock neighborhood. Guests can enjoy corn hole contests, dancing, live music, local artisans, a haunted house and local craft beer tasting until closing time at 5 p.m.

Local restaurant Walrus + Carpenter will provide a pig roast and guests can warm up by a bonfire in a casual lounge area and listen to music by The Giddy Up and Grit Rhythm.

Admission is $5, with proceeds directly benefitting the 2017 season. Children under 12 are free.
