Summer is here and it's time for Castle Hill Picnic Concerts!

Each Thursday, June 27 – August 29 (no concert July 4), will feature a different family-friendly band performing on Castle Hill’s Grand Allee overlooking Crane Beach.

In addition, The Fools will perform a special concert on Sunday, July 21 (rain date July 28).

The concert will be filmed for a documentary about this iconic rock band recently inducted into the New England Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Bring a picnic blanket or lawn chair and set up on the lawn.

While here, explore the gardens, walk the 1/2-mile-long Grand Allee, try a landscape-themed eye spy, picnic, and dance on the grass.

Bring a picnic supper or purchase supper onsite from vendors Beefie Boys or Plat Du Jour and dessert from Down River Ice Cream or Q's Nuts, or on Aug 1, 8, 15, & 22, The Whoopie Pie Wagon.

Mill River Winery, True North Ales, and 1634 Meadery will sell beverages each week.
