About Thursdays on the Village Green

We go way back.

Live music on the Village Green dates back to 1902 and is one of our community’s most beloved summer activities.

Our 2025 season kicks off on Wednesday, July 2nd with a performance by The Syracuse Orchestra and continues every Thursday evening from July 3rd through August 7th.

In addition to terrific musical performances, each night includes family-friendly events. Folks are encouraged to picnic on the Village Green with food from one of the many food trucks in attendance or to enjoy the music from the patio of the Colgate Inn. The evening’s concert and activities are free for all to enjoy. Blankets, chairs and dancing are encouraged! 

Thursdays on the Village Green is supported by a dedicated team of volunteers who are proud to continue this 120+ year community tradition. We are always looking for more help! Interested in learning more? Send us an email at thursdaysonthevillagegreen@gmail.com.

Last but certainly not least, this series wouldn’t happen without the support of our sponsors.

Interested sponsors can send checks made out to Arts at the Palace to 19 Utica St. Hamilton, NY 13346.

Please put Thursdays on the Village Green on the check memo!
