Music at the Mansion series continues

MIDDLETOWN — The Friends of Long Hill Estate and the Long Hill Estate Authority with sponsorship from Middlesex Hospital, are hosting the Music at the Mansion annual concert series.

Concerts began Wednesday and continue July 18 with Funky Dawgz Brass Band; July 25 with Mixed Signals; and Aug. 1 with the Shaded Soul Band.

All of the concerts start at 6:30 p.m. The grounds will be open for picnicking at 5:30 p.m. Parking will be available at Wilbert Snow School, 299 Wadsworth Street, and at Mercy High School, 1740 Randolph Road. Handicap parking is available at the mansion.

Because there is limited parking at the mansion, all vehicles will be directed to Mercy High School/Snow School when the mansion parking is full.

Concerts will be held in light rain or the threat of showers, but cancelled by anticipated electrical storms that may endanger both guests and musicians.

Bring a picnic or enjoy food from a participating food truck including Frank’s Wood Fired Pizza truck, Shishkabobalicious, and Vicchittos Italian Ice.

The mansion is closed during the concerts. There are port-o-pottys located on the west side of the lawn by the garage and at the rear of the overflow parking lot. There is a 10-minute intermission and the mansion grounds close 30 minutes after the conclusion of the concert.
