Founded in 1994 by a group of

private sector businesses and the towns of Avon, Canton, Farmington, and

Simsbury, the FVVA has strengthened the local

economy by packaging and promoting the valley as a destination for visitors. In

the last twenty years, FVVA has grown to encompass Granby, East Granby, New

Hartford and Burlington, and has been a resource for residents and for those

wishing to relocate to the valley. Its members include the area towns, historic

sites, recreational sites, farms, lodging, shopping malls, restaurants, and

many other professional and specialty businesses. The organization’s signature annual

Haunted Miniature Golf fundraiser at the Farmington Miniature Golf & Ice

Cream Parlor draws thousands of people statewide to the valley each October.

FVVA’s Historic Sites group presents fascinating lectures and bus tours featuring

one-room schoolhouses, working farms, historic taverns and more. Every year,

FVVA publishes its Guide to the Farmington Valley, distributing 50,000 copies

throughout the valley, the state of Connecticut and beyond, including 19

foreign countries in 2013.

Proceeds from the Roaring 20th Anniversary

Gala benefit the Farmington Valley Visitors Association, a non-profit

corporation whose mission is to promote the eight towns of the Farmington Valley

by serving as a resource and information center for residents and individuals or

businesses relocating to the area, and by enticing visitors to experience all

that the valley has to offer.
