Allison Stockel, Executive Director of The Ridgefield Playhouse is an expert on all things cultural in Ridgefield. Here are her top picks.

Bernard’s
Place to run:
The Ridgefield Rail Trail behind the Theater Barn and the Ridgefield Guild of Artists.

The Nutmeg Festival that St. Stephens does each summer as well as the Rotary Club’s Taste of Ridgefield every January.
