Our much‑loved cupcake baking contest was such a sweet success that we couldn’t stop there! This year, we’re sprinkling in even more fun with brand‑new contest categories: cookie baking and homemade jams and preserves. And the theme? FALL of course! Think crisp leaves, cozy flavors, and all! To learn more about each contest and throw your hat, or spatula, into the ring for a chance to win a grand prize and claim those all-important Best of Essex bragging rights, visit: https://www.essexvt.gov/1563/Contests

Hello from Essex Parks & Recreation!

We're excited to announce that the Essex Parks & Recreation Fall & Early Winter Brochure is now available!

Town of Essex residents can expect to find a copy delivered directly to their mailbox this week. Inside, you'll discover a season full of opportunities to stay active, connect with friends and neighbors, try something new, and make the most of the months ahead.

If you live outside the Town of Essex, you can still explore everything we have to offer by picking up a printed copy at our office at 81 Main St., or viewing the brochure online at https://www.essexvt.gov/1753/Brochure

Take a peek and see the exciting programs, community events, recreation facilities, and services being offered this season. From youth activities and family events to adult and 55+ programs, there's something for everyone to enjoy!

We look forward to spending another great season with you. Happy exploring, and we'll see you this Fall!
