Free steel drum concert to benefit Weston Playhouse, celebrate 140 years of the Green

Come to Weston’s Town Green from 4 to 6 p.m. on Saturday Aug. 22 for a special Blue Flames Steel Band Concert to celebrate 140 years of the Weston Green and to benefit the Weston Community Association’s restoration of the Weston Playhouse.

The music is free but all funds collected will go toward the Playhouse.

Bring a picnic, family and friends and listen to some wonderful music thanks to the enchanting Blue Flames Steel Band who for the 16th year are donating their talent and good will to this festive community celebration.

One-hundred and forty years ago, nine pioneer women turned a smelly frog pond and muddy swamp into what is now called the most beautiful Town Green in Vermont.

The “Ladies of the Green,” in the spirit of their ancestors, welcome all to join in sharing their spirit of community and provide some assistance to help the beloved Playhouse recover from the devastating floods of 2023.
