A new week is upon us and we are here to give you our latest finds of some different events happening around the city. Stamford is more than bars and restaurants (believe it or not) and we wanted to start sharing events that will give you some new ideas of what’s going on and maybe get you out there and exploring a little.
This is by no means is this a complete list of everything going on around town. Call it a “sampling of fun stuff.” Who knows, you may discover something new!
PLEASE NOTE: Because of the time involved in doing these lists, I’m going to start breaking the weekly lists into two posts: Monday thru Friday and then Saturday and Sunday.
Let’s get to it…here’s what we’ve found for you and remember, weather can change some of these listings. Oh and many are FREE!

I hope this gives you some different ideas of how to enjoy our fair city. We tried to mix it up a bit with finds for all ages from kids to adults and in between.
Now having said that I’ll be honest…the list doesn’t write itself. It takes a lot of time to put this together. If you like what I’m doing here, please encourage your favorite venues to advertise here on WOTM. We’ve been up and running for over 7 years and want to continue to do so. Encouragement from our followers is why we’re still here and for that I am truly thankful.
I close this as I always do…Have fun, be safe and Keep it Local Stamford!
