Fairfield Theater Company

Established in 2004, StageOne is a 225 seat venue in the heart of downtown Fairfield, Connecticut. Originally built primarily for theatre productions, StageOne is consistently voted as the best place to hear live music in the entire region because of the quality of the sound, the intimacy of the space, and the caliber of the artists. There is literally not a bad seat in the house and there are few venues in the country where the fans can be so close to the world-renowned artists who grace the stage in over 200 concerts and productions a year. The artists love to perform here and frequently cite StageOne as their absolute favorite venue. This brings out the very best in them, which is reflected in the quality of their performances and enjoyment of their fans.

Came in from out of state to see a favorite band on StageOne. Excellent seats all around and small size gave the feeling of an intimate concert. Good staff, great bar, fast service. Easy to get to and in the heart of Fairfield. Wish we had an FTC.

Jennings Beach

Reviewed By lukesawyer985

I enjoyed my time at Jennings Beach. The sand (at least away from the water) is nice and comfy. Also, there is a snack bar that serves lunch and frozen treats. There is a large pavilion that hosts events. I recommend this for anyone. You should bring here regular beach supplies, and your own food depending on if you want to buy from the somewhat expensive snack bar.

Penfield Beach

Reviewed By zoeyrocky2019 - White Mills, United States

We visited the beach the weekend of Sept 8-10. Stopped here twice...once Friday late afternoon to check it out. Then again Saturday morning. There is a nice pavilion where some one was having a wedding, and a playground area. There's a concession stand but we didn't get a chance to check that out. The beach was clean and quiet. Since it is the off season, no charge to park.
