From Friday, Sept. 11 through Sunday, September 13, CT Folk is sponsoring its annual Connecticut Folk Festival and environmental programming. Green Works: Connecticut's Free Green Job and Career Development Fair & Symposium will be held from noon to 4:00pm at the Adanti Student Center on the campus of SCSU.

All proceeds of the Tour des Farms will go toward CT Folk’s educational and family programming.
