Sage Pizza will set up shop in front of the Museum’s gates serving delicious pie. The Museum will serve beverages.

Museum educators will provide free children’s activities during Concerts in the Courtyard. Kids of all ages will find a fun makerspace at the picnic tables where they can create art based on art and objects featured in the Museum.
The Velvet Wave
The Velvet Wave is a five piece band from the Bennington area who formed in 2024 to bring surf music to the region. Sam Clement, Dave Lawlor, Carling Berkhout, Darryl Kniffen, and Grady King make up the group, and are all proud members of the local community as well as familiar faces in the local music scene. We put on a fun show for all ages, and make sure to keep a crowd happy and dancing while we’re performing. We’d love the opportunity to be a part of the Museum’s Concerts in the Courtyard Friday music series and hope to join you this summer.
