Join us on the Library lawn for the kickoff of the 4th Annual Summer Music Series at Manchester Community Library! Held on select Saturdays throughout the summer from 5:00 to 7:00 PM, this beloved outdoor concert series features live performances by local and regional musicians, delicious bites from area food vendors, and a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere. Bring your blankets, lawn chairs, and even your leashed dog — all are welcome at this free community celebration of music, summer, and connection.

We’re kicking things off on Saturday, June 7 with a performance by Sammy B, the stage name of Ludlow-based guitarist and singer-songwriter Sammy Blanchette. Blending rock, blues, jazz, reggae, and country into a unique jam band style, Sammy brings an energetic, heartfelt performance rooted in over two decades of musical experience. Enjoy fresh, local fare from Ghost Light Farm, a sustainable family farm from Cambridge, NY that up-cycles distillers grain to feed their cattle. Don’t miss this special evening of music, food, and community on the Library lawn!
