On Friday, March 28, 2025 from 2:00- 3:30pm in the Multipurpose Room of Southbury Parks and Recreation, join us to learn more about the 1964/1965 New York World’s Fair.
Fondly remembered today by many who grew up in the tri-state area, the 1964/65 New York World’s Fair attracted 50 million visitors, and it wasn’t even an officially sanctioned world’s fair. Join us as we explore the creation, construction, and operation of the fair.
