Summer Concert Series

Few things say summer in Fairfield like a warm evening on Sherman Green, a blanket on the grass, and a live band warming up under the gazebo. The Summer Concert Series is the town’s flagship music lineup, and the best part is that every single show is free.

🎶 What to Expect

Concerts run from 6:30 to 8:00 PM on Thursday and Sunday evenings at the Sherman Green gazebo in the heart of downtown. The genres bounce all over the map across the season, from classic rock and Motown to ska, country, and tribute bands, so there is something for every taste. Bring chairs or a blanket, pack a picnic, and settle in. For weather updates on any given night, the town hotline is 203-256-3144.

• It is family and dog friendly, so bring the whole crew.
