    Mystic Seaport offers free admission for Connecticut children on Labor Day Weekend

    Mystic — The Mystic Seaport Museum is welcoming visitors to the last free weekend of the state’s Summer at the Museum program.

    Funding for the state initiative, which allowed free admission for Connecticut children to museums across state, has run out but the Seaport has continued to issue free passes as part of the program.

    Labor Day festivities at the Seaport include A Spectacle in Motion: The Grand Panorama of a Whaling Voyage ‘Round the World exhibit, including a Hula demonstration by a Polynesian dance company, Cape Verdean music and dance, and sea music. The exhibit will last through March, but this is the last chance to see it for free.

    The Panorama Festival will be a weekend full of special programs and hands-on activities for kids and adults, celebrating the cultures, food, music and journeys of the panorama, from the Azores to West Africa, and Brazil to Hawaii.

    All events and activities are included in museum admission. Connecticut children and one accompanying adult are free through the state summer museums program all weekend. For more information, visit mysticseaport.org.
