Lost a nice one didn’t have my drag set tripping using a pole I haven’t in a while good spot but THROW THEM BACK!!
We went here during Hartbeat Music Festival. They had several great bands, but the reason we went, was to see Jake Kulac & the Lowdown. They did not disappoint. There was food and drink available for a premium (expensive) price.
There were also lots of people partaking in the recently legalized reefer smoking. It smelled of weed everywhere, and it was fairly constant.
It was a nice event, and everyone seemed happy to get out and see/enjoy live music again…
We parked on the east side of the river and walked over the bridge.
The banks of the Connecticut River, in Hartford and East Hartford were not maintained and overgrown. The area was under utilized despite the beautiful river view. In the early 80s, they cleaned up the area and connected four parks via the Riverwalk. This area gave me Waterplace Park Riverwalk, in Providence, RI vibes. The other parks are Charter Oak Landing, Riverside Park, and Great River Park. There is a bridge that connects the city with East Hartford, it goes over the river and connects it to the Great River Park.
I visited this place during the Taste of the Caribbean and Jerk Festival. The place was clean and large with beautiful views of the river. The CT Science Museum is also connected. It’s a great venue for different events; food trucks, vendors, and live bands. It was spacious and we enjoyed walking around and seeing the river.
Went to see Changes in Lattitudes on a wonderful night in July. Band-A. Venue-C- website gives poor information about parking. Website actually really lacks overall information content and their responses to questions posed. Parking is a hike from the venue, unless you have access to the parking for Riverfront recapture employees. I’m one and done for this venue.
The actual space is pretty cool. A little steep for a concert venue, but otherwise nice. What sucks is finding parking and actually getting to the riverfront.
