Summer Concerts on the Green US Coast Guard – The Beacons
June 25, 2021 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm EDT
About this event
Join us for our second outdoor summer Concert on the Green featuring The Beacons on the green outside La Grua Center. Major support for the summer Concerts on the Green has been provided by the Stonington Village Improvement Association.
Representing the US Coast Guard Band, the Coast Guard Jazz Nonet was formed in 2020. Smaller than a traditional big band, but larger than a jazz combo, the band plays music ranging from classic big band standards, instrumental solos, and patriotic music.
Please read the information below to understand what policies will be in place for the concert.
Rain Date: If it looks like inclement weather on the day of the concert, we will make the call by noon and update our website event page, as well as send an e-mail to ticket holders. The rain date will be the next day on Saturday at 6 p.m.
Parking: Parking in Stonington Borough in the summer can be a challenge. The free lot at Stonington Commons at 32 Water Street will be available until it is full. Residents of Stonington Borough are encouraged to walk. Additional tips can be found here.
Seating: We will open for seating at 5 p.m., and you will need to check in at our registration table at the Northeast corner of the Green. We will have six-foot pods marked off on the lawn—up to four people can sit in each pod. Please bring your own lawn chairs or blankets, as none will be provided. The musicians will be at least 12’ away from the first row of seating.
Masking: In keeping with current recommendations, masking will not be required except inside La Grua Center if you use the restrooms.
Food and Drink: The Stonington Harbor Yacht Club will be selling beer and wine from their portable bar, along with snacks. Please feel free to bring your own food, but not your own liquor. Trash cans will be available on the perimeter of the green for your use.
Restrooms: Restrooms are available inside La Grua Center. Please wear your mask if you go inside.
Running Time: Each concert will last approximately one hour, with no intermission.
