Downtown Danbury is about to get a serious midweek boost thanks to a new weekly event that’s basically built for anyone who loves good food and a little energy in the middle of the day. CityCenter Danbury is rolling out a “Downtown Chowdown” series, and it’s exactly what it sounds like—in the best way possible.

Every Wednesday from early May through late June, the corner of Main Street and Library Place is turning into a lunchtime hangout spot. We’re talking food trucks, music, and that rare chance to actually enjoy downtown instead of just driving through it.

The lineup already includes some heavy hitters. You’ve got Dish It Right Here! bringing their crowd-favorite comfort food, Nomad Bites serving up creative handhelds, and Cousins Maine Lobster rolling in with their well-known lobster options. And if you’ve ever seen that truck, you already know the line is coming.

The vibe, based on the promo, is simple: grab your food, hang out for a bit, maybe bring a coworker or meet up with friends, and actually take advantage of what downtown has to offer. It’s running from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., which is basically prime time for anyone trying to escape their desk without getting yelled at.

City of Danbury

And honestly, this is the kind of thing Danbury needs more of—something easy, consistent, and centered around food. No overthinking it. No complicated planning. Just show up, eat something good, and enjoy the scene for a couple hours.

If this catches on—and it probably will—you can expect those Wednesdays to get a little busier downtown. Not a bad problem to have.

Connecticut is full of towns people rush past on the highway without realizing what they’re missing. Everyone knows the big names, but some of the best places in the state are the ones that don’t always make the travel lists. These towns are quieter, full of character, and worth slowing down for at least an afternoon.

8 Fun Facts About Danbury Airport

I think there are a handful of places in Danbury that residents are really curious about but never bother to look into, one of those places is the Danbury Airport. We pass it on the way to the mall, or leaving after a day of shopping. We look down on it from Route 7 and wonder about it, but most of us simply don’t know.

Thankfully, we have Mike Allen who made the airport the subject of the most recent episode of “The Place You Live”. On Tuesday (2/1/22), Allen shared his research with us and these are 8 fun facts we learned about Danbury Airport.

17 Stunning Danbury Photos Along With Random Odd Facts About the City

The day I took this round of pictures (September 15 or 16th I can't remember), the light all over the city was just perfect. The sun was dancing in all the right places on the buildings, the trees and the grass. I said to hell with it, I'm publishing these photos. But what should I write in the description? I decided to pair the images with odd Danbury facts I gathered from prior articles.

Maybe this works out, maybe not at least I can say "look at this!"
