This weekly “backyard party” makes the most out of the easy Sundays afternoons of summertime!
Bring a lawn chair or blanket to enjoy an afternoon at the farm! Come and listen to live music, have a pint of a local beer, snack on a bison hot dog, visit the farm store and bring the kiddos to meet our friendly farm animals.
Each week features a concert of local musicians from diverse genres: rhythm & blues, jazz, Americana and more. Each open-air concert is the perfect backdrop for family and friends to lounge in the late afternoon sun and soak up the remaining moments of a Maine summertime weekend.
Broadway is coming to Stonington with two different days of programming at the Stonington Opera House.
OHA favorites, John McVeigh and Fred Rose, will join Broadway friends, Cynthia Kauffman and Mollie Vogt-Welch on stage for this annual favorite: Broadway Comes to Stonington. They will be accompanied by Sean Forte on piano.
Opening Doors, on Thursday, August 21 at 7pm, will include songs exploring new horizons and the excitement of possibility. Then, Sunday On Broadway, will have our singers return to the stage on August 24 at 2pm for Broadway classics and tunes that will leave you humming all day long.
Bring the whole crew for an afternoon of great music, good vibes, and family-friendly fun! The 808 Band will be bringing the rhythm, so grab a drink, kick back, and enjoy the tunes.
Don’t miss out—see you there!

Celebrating its 5th year, Sounds by the Sea began in 2021 to foster community and enjoyment of live music in our cherished park. This free, family-oriented six-week summer concert series occurs on Mondays at 6:00 pm, starting after Independence Day. Concerts rotate between the Bandstand and the Picnic Shelter, made possible by the generous support of local business sponsors.
The World Famous Grassholes are among the most storied bluegrass bands in Maine's well-stocked country music history. For the past decade the current five-piece lineup of Heather Kahill (fiddle), Merrill Marsh (guitar), Matthew Nelson (bass), Sam Pfeifle (guitar) and Field Rider ("deadly" banjo according to one Dublin nightclub owner) have taken the band to new heights, with four-part harmonies in the traditional style infused rock, to punk and the blues. You might find something better to listen to while the sun sets on a warm summer afternoon, but you'll have to look hard.
