10 a.m. – 2 p.m. ~ On the lawn, enjoy the Shamrock Traditional Irish Music Society. The group is dedicated to the preservation and promotion of traditional Irish music and culture, so you know that means a good time!
1:30 p.m. – 2 p.m. ~ A special dedication of a sundial, in memory of J. Gardner, a Stratford native, friend of actor Will Geer and supporter of his garden, that will take place in the magnificent Will’s Garden at the Elm Street entrance to the Park.
