Waterbury, also known as the "Brass City", has a vibrant mix of historic architecture with a classic New England twist. The City has transformed to meet the needs of residents and visitors from all over, offering centralized shopping centers, family-owned restaurants, and specialized activities.
At the Brass Mill Shopping Center, you can catch a movie or visit some of the shops. For a more hands-on experience, you can head to Fascia’s Chocolates, a family-owned chocolate factory that offers visitors a “full chocolate experience”, including a tour, tasting, and the opportunity to create your own chocolate bar. Or visit Connecticut Distilling and try their one-of-a-kind whiskies, vodkas, and other homemade liquors crafted right here in the city.
If you're interested in catching a Broadway performance, the historic Palace Theater is the place to be. They feature the best of Broadway with performances like Jersey Boys, Rent, Mean Girls, and other award-winning shows. For those who prefer museums, the Mattatuck Museum is an art and regional history museum where you can explore American art and cultural history exhibits, with a focus on the history of the Naugatuck Valley and the artists of Connecticut.
