Old Lyme’s celebration of art, music, and family fun is a summertime favorite event. Every last weekend of July, the Festival kicks off with a free outdoor concert on the riverfront lawn of the Florence Griswold Museum. On Saturday, the Old Lyme Arts District partners present a full day of family friendly activities. A classic car show, local art vendors, food trucks, a community dog show, a 5K road race, live music, and much more.

This annual tradition celebrates all things summer and is not to be missed! Check back soon for more information about 2026’s events.
