OLD LYME — The Florence Griswold Museum has launched a weekly concert series through July featuring local bands and food trucks on the Adrian P. Moore Terrace.
Concerts will be held on Thursday, July 13, and 20, and then the final one will be held on Friday, July 28, and precede this year’s Midsummer Festival.
On July 13, the performers will be the harmonizing duo FrankenPhil and the food truck on site will be Uncle D’s Blazin’ BBQ.
Enjoy food, friends, tunes, and a beautiful summer sunset over the Lieutenant River.
There is no charge for admission. The FloGris explains, “It’s all free to you, as a gift to our friends and neighbors.”
