Ridgefield Neighbors and Newcomers

Inaugural

Non-Profit Fair

Ridgefield Neighbors and Newcomers is hosting our town’s first ever public fair showcasing local non-profits. These organizations are the heart and soul of the Ridgefield community, and the public will discover new ways to support each of them.

This event is free to the public:

• April 27, 2025
• 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm
• Yanity Gym, 60 Prospect Street, Ridgefield, CT.
• Interests for all ages.
• Attendees can visit 30+ local organizations excited to share their mission.

Enter to delightful dogs from R.O.A.R greeting the public. RVNA and Ann’s Place support mind and body while Weir Farm and the Woodcock Nature Center feed nature-loving souls. Community organizations Ridgefield Action Committee for the Environment and Rides for Ridgefield directly benefit Ridgefield citizens. Kids will enjoy learning more about Girl Scouts of the USA and Boys and Girls Club of Ridgefield.

As the first town in Connecticut with a designated cultural district, the arts will be well represented by Ridgefield Chorale, the Ridgefield Conservatory of Dance, the Ridgefield Playhouse, the Ridgefield Theater Barn, the Ridgefield Guild of Artists, and A.C.T. of Connecticut.

As befits a town founded in 1708, both Keeler Tavern and the Ridgefield Historical Society will be on hand to share their unique perspectives.
