Mayor Eddie A. Perez held a press conference on Thursday outside the Hilton Hartford Hotel to promote the city of Hartford as a ‘staycation’ destination for the summer. With the Memorial Day holiday weekend upon us, Mayor Perez was joined by representatives of the Hartford Business Improvement District, the Connecticut Science Center and the Greater Hartford Convention and Visitors Bureau to promote the many great attractions and destinations that Hartford has to offer. The Rising Star Committee has worked to package 8 weekends throughout the summer to help attract visitors to Hartford. These are weekends that loaded with events and have the potential to bring in thousands of people to the city.
