Summer Sound Waves at Esker Point Beach
Summer Sound Waves at Esker Point Beach returns for another season of free outdoor concerts along the shoreline, bringing live music, food trucks, and summer evenings together at one of Groton’s most scenic waterfront locations. Held Thursday nights throughout the summer, the series invites visitors to bring a chair, gather with friends and family, and enjoy live performances overlooking Fishers Island Sound.
