Music on the Patio


Spend a perfect summer evening under the stars at Monument Arts &Cultural Center’s Music on the Patio. Set in the beautiful Rita D Memorial Rose Garden, this free community event offers a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere where music and nature come together.


Each Wednesday from 5:30–7:30 PM starting May 13, enjoy live performances from talented local artists you know and love, including Brian & Suzy Haner, Julie Shea, and Ali and Adam.


With charming café tables and chairs arranged for an intimate audience of just 30, the setting feels personal, comfortable, and up close to the music. The acoustics are lovely, the vibe is casual and fun, and a cash bar with light snacks makes it easy to settle in and enjoy the evening.


Thanks to the generous sponsorship of the Bank of Bennington,

Music on the Patio is completely free and open to all.


Come early, grab a seat, and make it your new Wednesday tradition.
