About Castle Hill Picnic Concert

Make the most of summer with a Castle Hill Picnic Concert! Each Thursday, June 26 – August 28 (no concert July 3) and Wednesdays, July 16 and July 23, will feature a different family-friendly band performing on Castle Hill’s Grand Allee overlooking Crane Beach.

Bring a picnic blanket or lawn chair and set up on the lawn. While here, explore the gardens, walk the 1/2-mile-long Grand Allee, try a landscape-themed eye spy, picnic, and dance on the grass.
