SUMMARY:“Art Is in the Air” – Noank CT Home & Garden Tour
DESCRIPTION:Brush up on your gardening gloves and dust off your walking shoes this summer. “Art is in the Air” – A Noank\, CT Home & Garden Tour gives you the opportunity to spend an afternoon touring one of Connecticut’s most charming coastal villages AND benefit an organization near and dear to our hearts—the Noank Historical Society. June 27 will be spent touring privately owned homes and gardens on a self-guided walking tour. Participating homes and gardens have been selected for their architectural significance and beautifully landscaped grounds. What better place to paint than out in the open? Many artists will be on hand painting the village’s scenic landscapes and historic homes while visitors tour. \nWhile Noank may be best known as a fishing village and a center for boatbuilding\, it was also a quietly influential art colony at the turn of the twentieth century. Henry Ward Ranger\, Robert Brackman\, Lars Thorsen and Reynolds Beal are just a few of the artists who vacationed or settled in Noank and found endless inspiration in waterfront views\, historic homes\, farms and the working harbor. The Tour celebrates not only Noank’s artistic history\, but the varied architectural styles of homes built by sailors who traveled to distant ports and brought back with them ideas and creative influences from around the globe. \nThere will be something for art enthusiasts\, garden aficionados\, history buffs\, and anyone who loves to discover unique spots along the CT shoreline. From gardens to artists painting “en plein air” to local history\, you will not want to miss this special opportunity to step back in time and experience one of SE Connecticut’s treasured coastal villages. \nParking at Esker Point Beach \n  \n

SUMMARY:Mystic Ukulele Strummers
DESCRIPTION:Mystic Ukulele Strummers brings together music lovers of all skill levels for weekly ukulele gatherings at Union Baptist Church in Mystic. Designed to be welcoming\, relaxed\, and community-focused\, the group invites beginners\, longtime players\, and curious first-timers alike to spend an evening strumming familiar songs and learning together in a casual social atmosphere. \nThe gatherings focus less on formal music instruction and more on participation\, encouragement\, and shared enjoyment of music. Players can practice chords\, improve rhythm\, learn new songs\, or simply join in for the fun of playing alongside others. Because the ukulele is approachable and easy to pick up\, the sessions tend to attract a wide mix of ages and experience levels\, creating an environment where newcomers don’t feel intimidated. \nWhat makes the Mystic Ukulele Strummers stand out is the sense of community built around the music itself. The group offers a low-pressure way for people to connect\, laugh\, and unplug for a while\, whether they are serious musicians or someone dusting off a ukulele for the first time in years. For locals looking for a creative weekly tradition\, it’s the kind of simple community gathering that feels increasingly rare and valuable. \n

SUMMARY:Mystic Ukulele Strummers
DESCRIPTION:Mystic Ukulele Strummers brings together music lovers of all skill levels for weekly ukulele gatherings at Union Baptist Church in Mystic. Designed to be welcoming\, relaxed\, and community-focused\, the group invites beginners\, longtime players\, and curious first-timers alike to spend an evening strumming familiar songs and learning together in a casual social atmosphere. \nThe gatherings focus less on formal music instruction and more on participation\, encouragement\, and shared enjoyment of music. Players can practice chords\, improve rhythm\, learn new songs\, or simply join in for the fun of playing alongside others. Because the ukulele is approachable and easy to pick up\, the sessions tend to attract a wide mix of ages and experience levels\, creating an environment where newcomers don’t feel intimidated. \nWhat makes the Mystic Ukulele Strummers stand out is the sense of community built around the music itself. The group offers a low-pressure way for people to connect\, laugh\, and unplug for a while\, whether they are serious musicians or someone dusting off a ukulele for the first time in years. For locals looking for a creative weekly tradition\, it’s the kind of simple community gathering that feels increasingly rare and valuable. \n
