Earthfest back in May was so much fun, wasn’t it? And it was just the first in a long line of exciting outdoor Summer concerts and festivals.
Here are some highlights of what’s to come:
- Verrill Farm will be holding their annual Blueberry Pancake Festival on July 17th in Concord. Blueberry pancakes, bacon, and bluegrass music from the Yankee Stompers!
- The Greenriver Festival will be held that same weekend (July 17th & 18th). It’s a huge event and there will be plenty of big bands playing
(our favorites are Joe’s Backyard Band and Rat Boy Jr). - The Toe Jam Puppet Band will be playing a series of free concerts on Georges Island (in the Boston harbor) on Sunday August 1st.
- Verrill Farm’s other summer festival, celebrating the corn and tomato
harvest, will be on August 21st. They’ll have bluegrass played by
Monadnock. - Arts at the Armory in Somerville is planning a Music for Haiti festival on August 21st. Looks like there will be a lot of cool bands
playing. - And last but certainly not least is the Life is Good Festival the weekend of September 11th & 12th in Canton. I know it’s a way off, but
they’re going to have Laurie Berkner, They Might Be Giants, and Dan Zanes!
And one more thing: Most towns plan a family-friendly summer concert series every year, too. Check the website for your town or stop by your local library to see your town’s concert schedule. They’re usually in the late afternoons or early evenings in a big park or common and they encourage families to bring blankets and picnics.
