Connecticut Witch Trials Festival

The event celebrates them being exonerated in 2023 (which is why this wasn't done prior) - and also honors the "witches" themselves - with the utmost respect and due regard. It is also presented to raise further awareness of the trials that happened in Connecticut, and the history. Connecticut House Joint Resolution 34, Resolution Concerning Certain Witchcraft Convictions In Colonial Connecticut, was adopted by the House of Representatives on May 10, 2023 by a vote of 121 to 30 and was then adopted by the Senate by a margin of 33 to 1 on May 25, 2023. This bipartisan resolution absolved the innocent victims of the witch trials and apologized to their descendants.
