Enjoy our curated list of February events and activities designed to inspire, entertain, and enhance your connection to the place you call home. From concerts, exhibits, plays to tax advice and winter hikes, there is always something to do in mid-Fairfield County.
Kids have forever loved the possibility of a snow day. Watching closings scroll across the tv screen, listening for announcements on the radio, calling the snow line and today, waiting for the email/text alert. Snow days—sheer days of childhood joy—are alive and well in Connecticut.
Yes, e-learning and remote working are entirely feasible, but there is something so delightful about an unplanned day off. We all have work to do, things to learn and days to fulfill, but the Connecticut lifestyle allows, even encourages, you to take a break every now and again.
There are neighborhoods you live in—and then there are neighborhoods that truly become part of who you are. In Westport, Connecticut, Compo Beach is one of those rare places. Tucked along Long Island Sound, this beloved shoreline community offers a lifestyle that blends natural beauty, small-town charm, and a deep sense of connection.
In the heart of Westport, Connecticut, you'll find the vibrant and welcoming Hunt Club/Long Lots area, a neighborhood that proudly takes its name from the iconic Fairfield County Hunt Club. For many years, this charming enclave has been a treasured home for families, offering a perfect mix of tradition, historical charm and modern conveniences.
It’s hardly the first time the town rallied around a great cause. In fact, Westporters pride themselves on making their voices heard. Over 50 years ago, a utility company wanted to buy Cockenoe Island -- to turn the beloved camping and fishing spot a mile off Compo Beach into a nuclear power plant!
Here at KMS, we’ve noticed an intriguing trend. Antique homes are back in favor with buyers. Younger folks, European transplants, down-sizers – all have asked to see homes that were built long before they (or sometimes, their grandparents) were born. As we’ve shown some outstanding antiques in Westport and throughout Fairfield County, we’ve noticed a few things.
When we talk to potential homebuyers about Westport’s history, we mention our agricultural past. As we show you possible homes, we point out repurposed barns highlighting that farming heritage is an important part of this town’s charm. But whenever one of our KMS Partners talks about Wakeman Town Farm, Westport’s past truly comes alive.
