Upper Valley Connections

Issue No. 27 · October 15, 2026

The Hood Museum opens its fall exhibitions Friday evening, pipa master Wu Man plays two recitals at the Hop, and Mountainfilm on Tour fills Spaulding Auditorium on Saturday night. Sunday afternoon, Upper Valley Baroque brings Pergolesi's Stabat Mater to Lebanon Opera House, and next week turns toward Halloween with a talk on witchcraft in the primary sources.

Upper Valley Connections is a free, independent community newsletter. If you run a local business, add your listing -- it’s free to start. Have an event coming up? Submit it to the calendar. Paid tiers help keep this going every Thursday.

Special Halloween issue next week! Next Thursday's issue will be all about Halloween. If you have a spooky, silly, or family-friendly event coming up between now and Halloween -- a haunted trail, a costume parade, a trunk-or-treat -- submit it to the calendar or email us at info@uppervalleyconnections.com with any details you'd like us to consider.

Author events at Norwich Public Library (5:30) and Norwich Bookstore (7), then the Indigenous Peoples' Fashion Show at the Hood Museum at 8.

This week's highlights include the Hood Museum's fall opening, Wu Man's pipa recitals at the Hopkins Center, Mountainfilm on Tour, Upper Valley Baroque's Stabat Mater at Lebanon Opera House, and An Evening with Amna Nawaz next Thursday.

Farmers’ Markets

Mt Tom wrapped up for the season last Saturday, and Market on the Green in Woodstock held its final market this Wednesday. Norwich runs outdoors Saturdays through the end of October, then continues as an indoor market for the winter, and Honey Field Farm's Monday Mini Market runs through Oct 26.
