Guests were gifted an even bigger opportunity to win as Foxwoods announced its Dream Wedding Giveaway, offering future newlyweds nationwide a chance at a high-rolling, all-expenses-paid celebration as part of the property’s upcoming 25th Anniversary festivities in February.

Foxwoods’ entertainment slate this December was bristling with world-class talent including performances from reggaeton sensation Nicky Jam and GRAMMY-award winning superstar Marc Anthony. Comedy fans were treated to performances from legendary comic Jerry Seinfeld and acclaimed stand-up Mike Epps at the state-of-the-art Grand Theater. Foxwoods started 2017 with a bang at the Foxwoods Winter Wonderland New Year’s Eve Celebration hosted by rapper-turned-actor Ice-T and reality superstar Coco, who celebrated their 16th wedding anniversary with a packed Grand Pequot Ballroom crowd.

January is off to a uniquely hot start as Foxwoods announced its exclusive new Broadway Series, the first of its kind in the region, featuring multi-show performances of Broadway classics “42nd Street,” “Pippin,” and “Mamma Mia!” The excitement rolls on with performances from all-time soul great Gladys Knight and uproarious comedians Artie Lange and Bob Marley. The property is also thrilled to host the third annual Red Sox Winter Weekend which returns to Foxwoods from January 20 through 23. Red Sox stars of past and present will treat fans to autograph sessions, insider panels and more.

About the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation

The Mashantucket Pequots are a native Algonquin people in southeastern Connecticut who endured centuries of conflict and survival on the oldest continuously occupied reservation in the U.S. (est. 1666). As the first native people within the continental United States to survive attempted genocidal massacre by European immigrants (1637), the Mashantucket Pequots have an unprecedented story of restoration, which is exhibited at their world-class Museum and Research Center (www.pequotmuseum.org).
