Live music in Middletown, CT

Katrina & Mark bring live music to New Britain’s Main Street Market, adding a lively soundtrack to a community gathering with farm-fresh produce, food trucks, and a range of local vendors. Shoppers using SNAP can stretch their budgets here, as benefits are doubled.

Gallery 66 in New Britain hosts an open mic and karaoke night that spotlights local creativity and connection. Hosted by Tangsauce alongside DJ Ty, the gathering welcomes singers, poets, comedians, and musicians at any experience level to share their work, while karaoke keeps the room singing along. It is a friendly, inclusive setting where performers and arts lovers can meet, mingle, and support one another. Admission is free, and light refreshments are available. Step onto a welcoming stage or enjoy the show from the audience as New Britain’s creative scene comes to life.

Have an evening meal while Michael Childs & Co. perform live soul jazz.

Settle in for live music with a front row view of Walnut Hill Park. This installment features a performance by Sal Basile. A range of beverages and bites are available for purchase in the museum café, including local beer, wine, a craft cocktail selection, snacks, sandwiches, and salads. Enjoy the music from the café terrace at no charge, and note that museum admission is required to visit the galleries. If the weather is poor, check ahead since the event usually moves indoors. When a food truck is scheduled, it will be set up in the parking lot next to the park. On the first Friday of each month, a separate-ticket First Friday program replaces this series.
