The Trustees of Reservations is a great resource for Massachusetts families. We are glad to share a guest blog about their great summer concert series.
ENJOY!

The Trustees are thrilled that it’s summer, because that means it’s time for our Thursday Night Picnic Concerts at Castle Hill on the Crane Estate in Ipswich! Pack a picnic, bring your family and friends, and get ready to dance the night away on the Grand Allée. We’ll feature a different style of music each week – and there’s more than just the fantastic live music. You can explore the newly restored landscape, try the family Eye Spy game, and enjoy tasty, local food and drink from local vendors. Let our lawn be your summertime playground.
