We had a blast last night thanks to The Ephemeral Stringband, Local Burgy, and the perfect summer evening weather! We can't wait to do it again next Thursday (8/14), from 6:30 to 8:00pm, with the bluesy rock of the TOMMY FILIAULT BAND and delicious and healthy paninis of Caravan Kitchen! We hope that you'll join us for another can't miss event!

A big thank you to Western Mass Heating, Cooling & Plumbing, MBS Advisors, Brian O'Connor & Family, MurDuff's Jewelry, Wohl Family Dentistry, Collective Copies, and Gwen Agna. Without the help of our sponsors, we wouldn't be able to put on these amazing shows for the community!

It was raining cats and dogs yesterday so we made the difficult decision to postpone this week's show with LeFever. We are planning to reschedule with an alternative date sometime in September and will let everyone know when things have been finalized! In the meantime, we're already getting excited to see The Ephemeral Stringband take the stage on August 7th from 6:30 to 8:00pm at the Civic Center. We would also like to note that there has been a change in food trucks and it will be the Local Burgy food truck joining us during this time! We hope to see you there!

We would also like to give a big thank you to some of our sponsors like Florence Hearing Health Care, Grace Paint & Tile, Greenfield Northampton Cooperative Bank, Nu Way Homes, Sandy Wright, Sugar Maple Trailside Inn, and Bird's Store! Their generosity is what helps make this special community event possible!

Due to inclement weather, tonight’s concert with LeFever has been canceled. We are working with the artists on an alternative date in early/mid September. Sorry for the inconvenience! We’ll see you next week for The Ephemeral Stringband!

We had a great time with the Heritage "Pops" Orchestra and the Cousins Maine Lobster - Hartford & Southern Connecticut food truck last night and we hope you did too! In less than a week, on July 31, we'll be welcoming LeFever to play indie rock from 6:30 to 8:00pm on the Civic Center stage. During the show, the Crêpes Nanou food truck will be parked on the lawn so don't forget to stop by and pick up freshly made crêpe!

A big thank you to some of our sponsors like Florence Towing & Auto Repair, Greenfield Savings Bank, Intervale Farm, Kathy Borawski, Florence Pizza & Family Restaurant, and Melodie Turner! We wouldn't be able to put on these wonderful shows for the community without your generosity!

Even with the hot weather, the Free Range Cats brought their all when they came to perform! We had so much fun listening to them play funky jazz last night and we hope you did too! We'd also like to thank The Saucy Mama for coming out and serving up some delectable dishes! We'll be doing it again next Thursday (July 24) from 6:30 to 8:00pm with the Heritage "Pops" Orchestra and the Cousins Maine Lobster - Hartford & Southern Connecticut food truck! We hope to see you next week for another can't miss event!

We wouldn't be able to put on these shows for the community without the help of local businesses like Northampton Country Club, Rick Kristek Tax & Business Services, River Valley Co-op, Synergy Physical Therapy, Tandem Bagel Company, and The Office Sports Bar. Thank you!

A big thank you to some of our sponsors like Attorney Michael Ho**er, Fitzgerald Realty, Burke Chevrolet of Northampton, Cooper's Corner, Five College Realtors Northampton, /Florentine Films/Hott Productions, and Lou Leelyn! We wouldn't be able to do it without you!
