Can you believe it’s been a full week since the Midsummer Festival was held in Old Lyme? Here (finally!) is our traditional photo essay of the event for which — yet again — the weather cooperated offering clear skies and warm air right through from Friday evening when concert-goers gathered behind the Florence Griswold Museum to Saturday night when fireworks lit up the sky behind the high school — all in all, it was — yet again — a positively perfect Festival!
Festival-goers enjoyed the Friday night concert on the Florence Griswold’s lawn on the banks of the Lieutenant River …
… and watching the stunning sunset looking west.
Saturday morning Lyme Street was a hive of activity, especially outside Patricia Spratt’s home goods business, which was also hosting clothes from her daughter Lilly’s original fashion line.
Food and more was on offer at the Lyme Street Firehouse.
And down at the Lyme Art Association, some four-legged folk had moved in …
… and, as always, were drawing quite a crowd.
There was music everywhere …
… and vegetables …
… and flowers …
… and jams … and jellies ……
… and olive oils!
And, perhaps summing up the Festival, we catch the sheer delight of a little girl as she plucked a violin string for this wandering minstrel!
