Greenwich Continues to Throw Connecticut’s Best Town Party

There are a few cities and towns around here that hold annual parties or festivals for their residents, but once again Greenwich will take the 2025 Best Town Party in Connecticut title.

Damn Greenwich, do you have to flaunt your wealth and connections every single year?While most towns in Connecticut are lucky to books cover bands, tribute artists, or the Spin Doctors, the annual Greenwich Town Party has featured A-list musicians that should instead be performing at nearby Madison Square Garden. It's a lottery-ticketed event available only to residents of Greenwich, and it's the hottest in New England because of who they bring in to perform.

The 2025 Greenwich Town Party is happening during Memorial Day weekend on May 24, and the headliners this year are Alanis Morisette and Ziggy Marley according to the Greenwich Time.

Since 2011 the Greenwich Town Party has been headlined by an incredible lineup of true superstars: Mumford & Sons, Billy Joel, Paul Simon, The Eagles, James Taylor, Santana, Doobie Brothers, Hall & Oates, Steely Dan, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and God himself - Eric Clapton.

In comparison, Ridgefield, another one of Connecticut's wealthiest towns, will hold their Town Party the week before the big Greenwich event on May 18 at the Ridgefield Playhouse with Guster as the headliner. Greenwich has taken all the steam away from Stamford, their Alive at 5 concert series in downtown has been killed off after 27 years of bringing in entertainers you have heard of before.
