The after-hours summer series encourages community connections and the celebration of musical heritage

Plymouth, Massachusetts (July 2, 2025) – Plimoth Patuxet Museums is pleased to announce ‘A Summer of Music Series & the Return of The Best Night of the Week’. Starting July 8th, the Museum invites guests to join them on select Tuesdays through September 23 to celebrate the region’s vibrant musical heritage with sweeping ocean views and family-friendly activities.

Each event in the series will feature celebrated local musicians performing at the Museum’s Craft Center Pavilion, located on its main campus, overlooking the beautiful waters of Plymouth Bay. Lawn games will be available and guests are encouraged to bring chairs, pack a picnic, or purchase wood-fired pizza and refreshing beverages from Plentiful Café.

“We pride ourselves on being a cultural space where family and friends may gather together and enjoy community connections,” said Michelle Cartwright Soverino, Deputy Director of Development and Marketing. “The Best Night of the Week, first introduced as a series last summer, is a wonderful opportunity for the Museum to encourage joyful interactions that strengthen our sense of community along these historic shores of change.”

A Summer of Music Series is a continuation of 2024 and 2023’s Indigenous Voices Series, initiated to create opportunities for Indigenous performers from throughout the Eastern Woodlands region to connect with diverse audiences through free and low-cost public programming. “We are so pleased to be able to continue this series, which receives generous support from the Town of Plymouth Promotions Fund and Visitors Services Bureau”, said Christina Basler, Director of Education and Group Programs. “The grant funding enables us to provide this important cultural programming at low cost, increasing access to community enriching programs.”
