Quassy Amusement Park in Middlebury
The amusement park announced that they'll be closed to the public on Saturday.
Their closure won't affect the opening of their Halloween attraction, Terror at Quassy, which is set to open on Oct. 6.
In a statement on Facebook, Quassy said they will be open Sunday.
Legends of Fear in Shelton
Because of the expected strong winds and rain, Legends of Fear made the decision to postpone their opening night Saturday.
In a Facebook post, they say they'll open next Friday, Sept. 29. Anyone with tickets for Saturday's event will be able to rebook another night at no additional cost.
Apple Festival in New Milford
New Milford Mayor Pete Bass announced that the town's Apple Festival has been canceled this year.
The festival will return next year. There will still be apple pies available for sale at the Congregation Church until noon. People can also purchase apple empanadas, apple cider ice cream and seasonal drinks.
Other indoor activities will also be available to families who come out Saturday.
Fly-In, Car Show and Food Truck Festival in Simsbury
This week's festival has been postponed until Oct. 1. Simsbury's Fly-In posted on Facebook saying they wanted to give visitors and vendors enough time to plan accordingly.
The incoming weather would have prevented most planes, such as helicopters and T-6 rides, from flying with a predicted ceiling of 1,500 to 2,000 feet.
The festival also said heavy rain would make one of the parking lots unsafe and too wet to use, leading to a shortage of parking.
Brooksvale Park Fall Festival in Hamden
Because of the weather, the Brooksvale Park Fall Festival scheduled for this weekend will be canceled.
The town of Hamden said the event won't be rescheduled because of other upcoming fairs and festivals in town.
"We are saddened that this fun-filled event has been canceled but we thank you for your support," the town said on Facebook.
The event was scheduled to kick off Saturday at 11 a.m.
Cornfest in Wethersfield
The town of Wethersfield announced that this weekend's Cornfest scheduled to take place Saturday has been canceled.
The event will not be rescheduled, and the town said the cancellation is due to forecasted weather conditions.
Wolcott Country Fair in Wolcott
The country fair announced that they are delaying opening until 2 p.m. Saturday.
They're planning to close at 11 p.m. and will have a fireworks display between 9:30 and 10 p.m.
Some other events said they will remain open despite the rain. This includes the Bristol Mum Festival and the Durham Fair.
