Since 1993, the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation has deposited over $4.4 billion of Foxwoods’ slot revenue directly into the state’s budget fund.

August kicked off with Foxwoods’ first annual Cocktail Carnival on August 7. The experiential event transported guests under the Big Top to a playful carnival setting, where they sipped on imaginative cocktails and spirits while fire-breathers and stilt-walkers astounded their senses. The successful Cocktail Carnival event once again proved Foxwoods’ commitment to providing unique, sensational experiences for guests throughout the year.
