Bristol Mum Festival, Community harvest festival in Bristol, Connecticut.
The Bristol Mum Festival is an autumn event in Memorial Boulevard Park where local businesses, food vendors, and artists gather. The park fills with various activities, art displays, and entertainment options for visitors of all ages.
The festival started more than 60 years ago with a chrysanthemum parade that became the center of autumn celebration. This tradition has grown over time to include many other activities and events in the park.
The festival displays work from local artists and craftspeople who share their creations with the community. You can experience live music and watch how neighbors come together to celebrate the changing season.
The festival takes place in September or October with free admission and activities for all age groups. Arriving early is wise to find parking and secure good spots for viewing the parade and other events.
More than 40 floats are decorated with chrysanthemums, each one showing the craftsmanship and creativity that goes into its display. These flower arrangements form the visual highlights of the entire event.
