Our celebration of art, music, food and family fun is back!

The Old Lyme Midsummer Festival is back! Produced by the Old Lyme Arts District, the festival celebrates all that makes Old Lyme special: incredible art and history, a beautiful environment, thriving nonprofits, creative businesses, and a vibrant community. The festival takes place in the heart of Old Lyme’s Arts District on Lyme Street, on the grounds of the Lyme Art Association (LAA), the Old Lyme Inn, the Florence Griswold Museum, and the Roger Tory Peterson Estuary Center. 

Events at LAA will include live music performed by Wandering Fiddlers from 9am-12pm and Kipp Sturgeon from 12:30-3pm
