Town of Wilton Changes Summer Concert Venue
The Town of Wilton is shifting venues for the summer concerts previously scheduled at Schenck’s Island; those will now be held at Merwin Meadows, along with two other concerts previously scheduled for Merwin Meadows. The change in locations has been caused by a delay in completing the Schenck’s Island parking lot project due to supply chain issues. The estimated completion date for the parking lot is now sometime in August.
The following bands are lined up to perform:
- Sunday, June 25: The Kenn Moor Band
- • The Russ Davis Band on Sunday, July 9th at 5:00-7:00 pm at Merwin Meadows
- • The Tom Duffy Band on Sunday, July 23rd at 5:00-7:00 pm at Merwin Meadows
- • One Bad Oyster on Sunday, August 6th at 5:00-7:00 pm at Merwin Meadows
All performances are scheduled for 5-7 p.m. at Merwin Meadows. Attendance is free, and residents are encouraged to bring blankets, chairs and picnic food. Merwin Meadows is located at Lovers Ln.
