Due to the Extreme Heat Advisory, Town Hall Theater's America 250 Block Party is moving indoors to our beautiful new wing at 72 Merchants Row. The celebration is still on—just cooler, more comfortable, and every bit as festive!

WHO’S PERFORMING
Block Party: 5 Above + Redd & The Paper Flowers
Friday, July 3 from 3pm to 8pm
A woodwind ensemble from Vermont’s Own 40th Army Band, playing a full spectrum of chamber music tied to the theme “Heroes: A Musical Journey of Courage.” At 5:30, Redd & The Paper Flowers, an Appalachian folk-grass group from Knoxville, Tennessee will take the stage, featuring upright bass, cello, mandolin, guitar and stunning vocals. The celebration will be complemented by a festive bike parade! Hamburgers, hot dogs, Ethiopian, chocolate, charcuterie and more available to purchase.
Atom & the Orbits
Friday, August 7 from 5:30 to 7pm
Atom & the Orbits is led by Vermont musician Noah Hahn. After a decade of playing in two-step bands from Vermont to Louisiana, Hahn assembled the band as what he calls a "rocket ship" for a bigger sound. The result fuses groove-driven Americana, rock, and roots rhythms into something built for movement.
Block Party: Billy Wylder, DJ Serena Kim, & More Surprises
Friday, September 4 from 3 to 8pm
Billy Wylder is a Burlington, Vermont art-rock band led by singer-songwriter Avi Salloway. The band's sound pulls from American folk and rock, African rhythms, art-rock textures, violins, synths, and groove-heavy percussion. DJ Serena Kim is a Middlebury favorite. Co-owner of the Swift House Inn, she's been one of the most
in-demand DJs in town, with sets at Town Hall Theater, Crooked Ladle, and the Henry Sheldon Museum. Food trucks, charcuterie, chocolate, churros, and more available to purchase.
Aysanabee
Friday, October 2 from 5:30 to 7pm
A four-time Juno Award winner closes the series with haunting indie-folk and one of contemporary music's most distinctive voices.
Aysanabee is an Oji-Cree singer-songwriter from Canada whose music sits at the intersection of alternative, indie-folk, and rock. His live shows move from full-band energy to quiet, close-in moments.
Dwight + Nicole Band
Friday, June 5 from 5:00 to 6:30pm
Dwight Ritcher and Nicole Nelson don't fit cleanly into one genre. Their sound moves through blues, R&B, and soul, with roots rock, alternative, and Americana woven in. Live, two voices anchor everything, and the band is built around them.
