Monday Night Jazz & the Hartford Jazz Festival are the annual highlights @ Bushnell Park. The vibe is right & the food is awesome. Great multicultural events . And yeah, the carousel is beautiful????

First public city park , created by the same designer who brought Central Park to New York City . Young (and young at heart) will love the old 1914 carousel where you can ride for only $1!
