Event: Fairfield Community Band – Summer Concert Series
Location: Central Park Gazebo, Fairfield Square
Dates: Mondays, July 1 – August 5
Time: 8:00–9:00 PM
Cost: Free and open to the public

Nothing says summer quite like the sound of a community band drifting across the town square. Starting Monday, July 1, and continuing for six weeks, the Fairfield Community Band will fill Central Park with music, memory, and a touch of small-town magic.

Join us at the gazebo each Monday evening from 8 to 9 PM as local musicians share their time, talent, and love of music with the community. These are your neighbors, your teachers, your retirees—coming together to play everything from patriotic marches to toe-tapping swing tunes and sentimental classics.

Bring your lawn chairs, your kids, your grandma. Let the music take you back—or forward—or just help you breathe a little easier for an hour. Ice cream vendors will be on-site to keep it cool and sweet.

Whether you’re a longtime resident or just passing through, this is the kind of night that reminds you why places like Fairfield still matter. Come early, stay late, and soak in a sliver of Americana.
