Sweet Sounds of Summer - Living in Fairfield

Alex Kniffin | June 5

If your Saturday nights could use a little more music (and maybe a little something sweet), Sweet Sounds of Summer has you covered. This Saturday-evening series brings live bands to the Sherman Green gazebo all summer long, and like everything on the Green, it is free.

🎶 What to Expect

Music kicks off at 6:30 PM on Saturday evenings at the gazebo in downtown Fairfield. The series is presented with help from local sponsors Al’s Angels and Saugatuck Sweets, so the night has a warm, neighborhood feel. Bring a blanket, bring the family, and make an evening of it.
