Hosted on alternating Tuesdays at The Ivoryton Green and Wednesdays at The Essex Main Street Park, concerts take place at 6:30pm from July 2 through August 13th. Please carefully note the location as our venue changes each week. August 5 - Ivoryton Village Green- Southern Voice is a contemporary Country Cover band that plays all the chart hits today, as well as some other genres of music to keep the crowd up and on the dance floor. Though they are a country band, they play many other artists to cover the pop, rock, southern rock, and dance genres. Their goal is to make sure your time with them is one to remember.

The Park & Rec summer concert featuring Local Honey scheduled for tonight, Tuesday July 8th, has been cancelled. The National Weather Service said that a "slow moving frontal boundary will interact with a tropical air mass to bring showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. Locally heavy rainfall is possible and rainfall rates may be near, or exceed, 2" per hour at times. This rainfall could lead to flash flooding." The weather service said the severe thunderstorm threat is most likely between 2-10 p.m. and that a "few thunderstorms may be severe with damaging wind gusts in excess of 58 mph." The best chance for severe thunderstorms is in lower Fairfield County, but there is a chance all across the state. Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming summer 2025 concerts.
