Glow in the Park Kickoff Events in CT

CTvisit’s statewide calendar lists “Glow in the Park fun starts in May!” at TreeTrails Adventures in Mystic for May 1-31, 2026, with Friday night sessions built around illuminated climbing, music and glow wear. The event is one of the family-focused outdoor listings highlighted on the state tourism site for May, alongside other weekend activities across Connecticut. CTvisit’s description says the attraction shifts into a lit nighttime setting after sunset and provides glow bracelets and necklaces for participants. ### Where is this event happening in Connecticut? Mystic is the location named on CTvisit’s listing, which identifies TreeTrails Adventures Mystic as the site for the May program. The venue is at 715 Noank Ledyard Road, according to the Greater Mystic Chamber of Commerce calendar entry for the same event. CTvisit’s broader “this weekend” and “upcoming events” pages place the event within a statewide tourism calendar rather than a single municipal parks program. (ctvisit.com) Those listings show the Mystic attraction among nature and outdoors options promoted for mid-May. ### What does “Glow in the Park” include? CTvisit’s event description says the program turns the park into a “glimmering fairy land” as daylight fades, with lights coming up after sunset. (ctvisit.com) The listing says visitors receive glow bracelets and necklaces and can listen to music and dance as they climb. TreeTrails Adventures is an aerial adventure venue, and CTvisit’s copy frames the May dates as a nighttime version of that climbing experience. (ctvisit.com) The tourism site also says additional glowing nights are planned later in the season. ### When are the May kickoff dates? May 1 through May 31 is the date range shown on CTvisit’s event page. The description specifies Friday Glow in the Park nights during May. (ctvisit.com) The Greater Mystic Chamber calendar gives a more specific operating window, listing the event as running from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. every Friday in May and showing tickets at $66. CTvisit’s own page tells visitors to check local listings for details, and the chamber entry appears to supply the local timing and price information tied to the same venue and event name. (ctvisit.com) ### Is this a one-month event or part of a longer series? June, July, August and September dates are already signaled in related CTvisit listings. The May page says an additional glowing night is expected by mid-June, and a separate CTvisit listing for summer says the attraction adds Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays in July and August. Another CTvisit page says September dates continue Thursdays through Saturdays. (business.mysticchamber.org) Those listings indicate the May dates are the start of a longer seasonal nighttime program at TreeTrails rather than a one-off weekend activation. That reading is based on CTvisit’s separate event pages for later months. ### Where should readers check before going? CTvisit’s “upcoming events” page is the central statewide listing page referenced for schedules and locations. The site’s “this weekend” page also includes the Mystic event among current May picks, which can help readers confirm whether the listing is active for a given weekend. (ctvisit.com) The Greater Mystic Chamber and Ocean Community Chamber calendars both mirror the May event details for TreeTrails Adventures, including the Friday cadence and evening hours. (ctvisit.com) Those local listings offer an additional check on time-specific planning before arrival. May 16-17 and the remaining Fridays in May are the next points on the calendar for readers checking Connecticut’s weekend listings, while CTvisit’s event pages point ahead to expanded summer glow nights at the same Mystic venue.
