On Monday May 14, 2012 Governor Dannel Malloy signed into
law Public Act 12-17 making Sunday liquor sales legal in the state of
Connecticut. Even with the new law, some towns still prohibit the sale of
alcohol entirely, and some still ban the sale of liquor on Sundays. Bridgewateris the last “dry” town in Connecticut, and though it is not dry, no alcohol is
sold in the town of Easton. Wilton, Connecticut has a town ordinanceprohibiting liquor sales on Sunday, and the town law trumps the new state law. Sunday
sales will start this Sunday, May 20, 2012 for stores in those towns that haven’t
banned Sunday sales. Individual store owners will decide whether to stay open
on Sundays or not.
