A Great Weekend for Sports and Sound
The weekend is looking great in New Haven with over two dozen events to keep you busy. Whether you are heading to the ballpark or catching a nostalgic concert, you will find plenty of reasons to be out and about between the light passing showers.
Expect temperatures to hover in the high 70s with some light drizzle on Friday and Sunday. Saturday is the standout day for being outside, offering overcast skies but pleasant conditions around 80 degrees.
If you only do one thing
Hartford Yard Goats vs. New Hampshire Fisher Cats · Sat 6:10 PM
This is the premier match-up of the weekend, offering high-quality minor league baseball in one of the region's best stadium environments.
Tip: Saturday evening provides the most stable weather for a game, but Dunkin Donuts Park garages fill quickly, so arrive at least 45 minutes before first pitch.
The Shortlist
Sat 6:10 PM · Dunkin Donuts Park
A Saturday evening baseball clash between the Hartford Yard Goats and the New Hampshire Fisher Cats.
Pro move: Saturday games often feature promotional events, so check the stadium schedule for giveaways at the gate.
Fri 8:00 PM · Toads Place - CT
A high-energy Kawaii Rave bringing a unique subculture dance experience to New Haven.
Pro move: This is an 18 plus event at Toad's Place: bring your ID and expect a vibrant, colorful dress code.
Fri 8:00 PM · Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater
Fetty Wap brings the Nostalgia Tour to the Bridgeport waterfront for a night of hip hop hits.
Pro move: The amphitheater is open-air: even with a roof, a light breeze off the water can make it chilly, so bring a spare layer.
Sat 7:00 PM · Toyota Oakdale Theatre
The Happy Together Tour stops in Wallingford, featuring a lineup of classic rock and pop icons.
Pro move: Toyota Oakdale Theatre has ample parking, but leaving after a sell-out show can be slow: consider grabbing a late snack nearby to let traffic clear.
Sat 8:00 PM · Great Cedar Showroom at Foxwoods Resort Casino
New England favorite Bob Marley brings his observational comedy to the casino stage.
Pro move: The Great Cedar Showroom is deep within Foxwoods: allow 20 minutes to walk from the parking garage to the venue.
Fri 6:00 PM · Mohegan Sun Arena
A triple-threat rock show featuring Blues Traveler, Gin Blossoms, and the Spin Doctors.
Pro move: Arrive early as this venue is known for its high-quality acoustics, making the opening sets by the Spin Doctors a must-watch.
