Quassy Amusement & Waterpark sits on the south shore of Lake Quassapaug in Middlebury, Connecticut, and has welcomed guests since 1908 — one of only eleven trolley parks still operating in the United States. The 20-acre park combines a historic character with a working lakeside setting, making it an unusual backdrop for weddings, corporate outings, reunions, and group celebrations. Events are hosted across three dedicated catering areas, each with its own character. The Fieldside Pavilion — the park's original 1937 structure, fully renovated in 2024 — anchors large-scale gatherings with a two-acre activity field and expanded event space. The Patio Party area, situated on the lakefront adjacent to the park restaurant, accommodates groups of 50 to 200 under covered awnings with views of Lake Quassapaug. A third facility, the Trolley Stop Pavilion, serves smaller groups looking for a more intimate setting. Lakeside Caterers handles all on-site events with a menu of more than 100 items. Catered events include use of the facility for the full day, a front gate attendant, free parking, and all-day ride and Splash Away Bay waterpark passes for all guests.
