Free Concerts on the Green in Stratford CT

My kids love music and exposing them to live concerts in the outdoors is a win win for parents and children. Especially when the music is free. Tune in to one of the best free offering from the town of Stratford.

At the intersection of Huntington Avenue and Main Street in Stratford Connecticut is Paradise Green. Throughout the summer from June though August the town of Stratford CT puts on free concerts for music lovers.

Every week there is a different band and the styles range from country to swing to symphonies and everything in between.

Bring a blanket or maybe some low profile lawn chairs. Pack your dinner and favorite bottle of wine into a basket and have a picnic on the grass amongst fellow music lovers. Just remember to take your trash with you when the free concert is over.

This picnic basket will serve you well but we have really been thinking about picking up one of these picnic baskets . We really like the classic styling of these types of baskets and we think it would make us feel like we were taking part in a real "old-tyme" picnic.

The town of Stratford CT puts a schedule on their website. You can access the music schedule here . You’ll notice that most concerts at Paradise Green are on weeknights so you’ll have to plan accordingly. I actually prefer it that way. Getting out of the house with the kids on a random Thursday night is a great way to break the monotomy.

I’m still undecided about what to present to you for tomorrows installment of thirty things to do this summer for Stratford CT residents. Check back to tomorrow and see if I made up my mind.

Update: My mind is made up. Check out the Stratford Connecticut’s Summer Arts Festival .
