We even have a public library, Ridgefield Public Library, with a lot more to do than just borrow a book.
The Prospector Theater Newly released movies, with the town’s best employees!! Who now have their famous popcorn available for purchase online: Prospector Popcorn.
Looking to see great Musicians, Dance performances, Comedians, Broadway Performers, Movies and more right here in town try the Ridgefield Playhouse.
If you prefer to do the acting yourself we have:
ACT (A Contemporary Theatre of Connecticut)
MUSIC
Outdoor Concerts
CHIRP (Concerts Happening in Ridgefield Parks)

If you are looking for a new place and a new experience you have to Darryl‘s House. This is the brain child of Darryl Hall from “Hall and Oates”. Trust me for an afternoon brunch, or evening dinner, this is a unique way for you and your friends to do something out of the ordinary.
Looking to see a concert in an intimate environment try the Capital Theater in Port Chester. An hour from Ridgefield, with a lot of good restaurants near by. Even if it’s just pizza at the Colony Grill.
Other Concert venues The Stamford Palace Theater in Stamford, I recommend Columbus Park Trattoria for diner beforehand. The Oakdale Theatre in Wallingford, I recommend The Library Wine Bar & Bistro.
