TICKETS ON SALE NOW
FOR THE FIRST ANNUAL “GREENWICH TOWN PARTY”
SCHEDULED FOR SATURDAY, MAY 28
Greenwich, CT, April 11, 2011 – Tickets are on sale now for the first annual Greenwich Town Party, scheduled for Saturday, May 28th at the Roger Sherman Baldwin Park, which is the place to be this Memorial Day weekend. The all-day, 12-hour event for the Greenwich community offers an extraordinary array of activities and music for all ages: fun-filled kid’s activities from 10am to 2pm including The Fun Bus!, face painting, strolling magicians, caricaturists, inflatables, games, and arts & crafts; a music festival from 11am to 10pm featuring artists ranging from reggae to Motown and from rock to blues; and delicious food and drinks from an assortment of the hottest restaurants in town.
Rain or shine, the Greenwich Town Party will kick off at 10am with four hours of family-fun and at 11am the School of Rock Stars, a handpicked group of talented students from the Fairfield County performance-based music program for kids, kick off an incredible day of music. The Greenwich Town Party has something for everyone, bringing festival goers performances on two stages: a local stage featuring artist and musicians from Greenwich and neighboring towns, and a main stage hosting musical greats The Temptations, Toots & The Maytals, Little Feat, Robert Randolph & The Family Band, and a special performance by blues legend and five time Grammy Award Winner Buddy Guy.
Beginning at 2:00pm, an exciting group of area restaurants offer their signature dishes for purchase. Attendees may purchase and enjoy menu items from local restaurants including l’escale, Restaurant Jean-Louis, The Ginger Man, Fjord Fisheries, Pasta Vera and Asiana Café. “This family friendly town party will bring families, neighbors and fellow citizens together for a morning, afternoon and evening of pure fun and enjoyment," says Scot Weicker of the SBWEventsGroup, the company contracted to manage the event. "It will have a unique flair of being an all-day family friendly event with 11 hours of incredible live music and great food. The Greenwich Town Party will be the hottest ticket in town, come May 28th, and with limited tickets available, this event is going to sell out very quickly.”
The Greenwich Town Party is an event by Greenwich residents, for Greenwich residents. Although a small portion of it is funded through ticket sales, generous donations from town residents provide the majority of funding, as well as gracious sponsorships by local business. Additional resident donations are also accepted through the event website to help fund the event. Residents are encouraged to “throw something in the pot” to support this incredible day of music, food, and family fun.
Due to park capacity, a limited number of tickets are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, in person at the Greenwich Town Hall located at 101 Field Point Road (Mon/Weds/Fri 10am to 2pm), as well as at the Arch Street Teen Center located at 100 Arch Street (Tues/Thurs 3pm to 6pm), online at www.greenwichtownparty.com, or by calling (866) 558-4253. Prices are $40 for families with two adults and at least one child under 13 (10am to 2pm only—must enter before noon), and $40 per person for general all-day admission for attendees between the ages of 13-64 (10am to 10pm). For all-day admission, Seniors 65 and older and children under 13 are free but will still need to arrange for tickets in advance at either the Greenwich Town Hall or the Arch Street Teen Center.
For the local community, the Greenwich Town Party looks to be a spectacular event that hopes to become a Memorial Day Weekend tradition in Greenwich for many years. For additional event and ticket information, as well as details about VIP tickets, sponsorship opportunities, and how to make donations or other contributions, please visit the Greenwich Town Party website at www.GreenwichTownParty.com. The Greenwich Town Party is an alcohol-free event and there is no charge for parking in the surrounding public parking lots.
