Our free concert from 7:00-9:30 P.M. features Thirty6Red (T6R), the band that does it all! From the beginnings as an all Original band in the early 90's to today's high energy Cover Band, the band knows how to make sure everyone at their shows has a memorable experience. The lineup has been refined many times to present the strongest group of musicians and vocalists. Each shares the same philosophy - play great songs and make sure everyone is smiling from start to finish.

Whether you want to sing or dance, T6R will have you moving. T6R continues to move forward as New England's best Cover band. T6R has opened for Bret Michaels, Phil Vassar, Dustin Lunch, Gretchen Wilson, Eddie Money and many others. Their extensive set list includes music from Bon Jovi, CCR, Maroon 5, Carrie Underwood, Sugarland, ZZ Top, Lady Antebellum, Pink and more! Please note our amphitheater is lawn seating only. Picnic blankets and chairs are welcome.

A spectacular fireworks show will be displayed by Atlas Fireworks at 9:30 P.M. The fireworks can be viewed from all areas of the 40+ acre NARA site. Local businesses Donelan’s Supermarket and Gould’s Clothing have continued to donate generously for many years towards the fireworks. Their donation is greatly appreciated by the Town and the thousands of guests who attend this event each year.
