Now entering its seventeenth season, Thursdays on the Dock brings residents and visitors together each Thursday evening in July and August for free live music on the Museum’s riverfront lawn. Set against the backdrop of the Connecticut River at sunset, the series creates a welcoming space where people gather to enjoy music, connect with friends and neighbors, and celebrate our shared community.

The concert series welcomes more than 1,500 attendees each season, with weekly audiences averaging 250 guests and social media reach approaching 80,000 annually. As opportunities for free public arts programming become increasingly limited, Thursdays on the Dock remains an important source of cultural enrichment and community connection throughout the shoreline region.

We invite you to help sustain this popular program and ensure that these concerts remain free and accessible to all. Sponsorship offers valuable visibility through event recognition, signage, digital promotion, and Museum communications, while demonstrating your commitment to arts, culture, and community.

Sponsorship benefits are shown below.
