East Lyme Summer Concert Series – Friday Bandshell Concerts

East Lyme Summer Concert Series – Friday Bandshell Concerts returns to the McCook Point Park Bandshell with free live music every Friday evening throughout the summer. Running from 6 to 8 p.m., the series showcases an exciting mix of rock, country, blues, soul, and pop performed by many of southeastern Connecticut’s favorite bands in a picturesque waterfront setting.

Located just steps from the beach, the bandshell offers the perfect backdrop for relaxing summer evenings filled with music and ocean breezes.
