Concerts on the Green are a prime example of the Windsor Chamber of Commerce and First Town Downtown's new partnership, both non-profit organizations separate from the town working together to support and promote Windsor businesses while providing entertainment for the public. The residents of Windsor love the free, open-air concerts. And our local businesses do, too. Some businesses sponsor a concert and invite their employees to enjoy it as a group, some even offer each one a complimentary Chamber gift certificate to use at a local restaurant or shop that night. Chamber gift certificates are available to the public and make great gifts. They're accepted like cash at over 40 different businesses in town. The concerts are truly a community event with wide appeal as many people from Windsor and other towns bring their families and friends to the center for dinner before the show. Many also take advantage of the Chamber's Summer Passport program to get stamps at restaurants, concerts and other attractions in town to win a TV, a Kindle, Gas and Grocery cards or a Restaurant/Attraction Gift Certificate package. Lots of great things happen on Thursday nights. In addition to the concerts, there's the Read on the Green Program at 6:15 pm and First Town Downtown's Farmers' Market at 3:30 pm, all on or near the green. It's a great day to come out and enjoy some family-friendly entertainment. Summer concerts this year are especially varied and fun.
