Music fills the air at The Village Green all year round, but come summer, it truly comes alive with the vibrant, free concert series known as Groovin’ on The Green.

This beloved community tradition invites locals and visitors alike to gather on the Village Green Commons Lawn for unforgettable evenings of music, friendship, and fun. Rain or shine, the concerts start promptly at 6:00 P.M., welcoming everyone to bring lawn chairs, blankets, picnic baskets, and even their leashed four-legged friends for a night of shared joy.

The 2026 lineup kicks off in May with two standout acts. On May 22, the Corey Stevenson Band takes the stage. Known for their soulful blend of blues and rock, Corey Stevenson and his band have been captivating audiences with their heartfelt lyrics and dynamic performances. The following week, on May 29, Dylan Armour brings his unique style to the Green. Dylan’s music is a rich tapestry of folk and Americana, weaving stories that resonate deeply with listeners.

As the summer unfolds, the music continues to enchant. June welcomes The Deep Shallow Band on the 12, whose indie-rock vibes and catchy melodies have earned them a devoted following. Later in the month, on June 26, The Wobblers bring their energetic mix of roots and rock, promising a lively night for all.

July and August keep the groove going with Gotcha Groove on July 24, a band celebrated for their funky rhythms and dance-worthy beats. Then, on August 14, The Wandering Hours take the stage, offering a soulful blend of blues and rock that’s both nostalgic and fresh.

The concert series wraps up on September 4 with McIntosh and the Lionhearts. This group’s rich harmonies and heartfelt songwriting provide a perfect closing to a summer filled with music and community spirit.

Beyond the music, attendees can savor a variety of local food and beverage options at each concert, making every evening a feast for the senses. For those looking to elevate their experience, the Village Green offers tent rentals, allowing groups to reserve a shaded spot to enjoy the show in comfort.

Groovin’ on The Green is more than just a concert series; it’s a celebration of community, culture, and the simple joy of music shared under the open sky. Mark your calendars, pack your picnic, and get ready to groove on the Green this summer!
