Summer Nights on the Green

On summer Thursdays, the Windsor Town Green becomes the town's backyard. The certified farmers market and food vendors open at 5pm, and a live band takes the stage for the evening concert, with families spreading out across the lawn until 8.

The Town of Windsor and the Windsor Farmers Market run the series together, and the season runs into late August. Bring a blanket or a low chair, and assemble dinner from the market stalls on the spot.

It is the easiest kind of summer evening: no tickets to juggle, no dress code, just a lawn, a band and a town that turns out in force. The bands are booked for a whole town, the kind of music that gets people off their blankets.

Shop the market for a picnic, claim a patch of grass, and let the evening stretch out as the light goes gold over the Green.
