Held annually on the Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend, the Greenwich Tea Party brings multiple generations of Greenwich residents together to celebrate town pride and the spirit of giving through live music, local food favorites and family fun activities. 

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees Daryl Hall & John Oates, Grammy award winners John Fogerty and Tedeschi Trucks Band, as well as CJ Chenier and the Red Hot Louisiana Band, and six local bands will rock this year’s crowd. 

In addition, The Greenwich Town Party, Inc., a non-profit organization, is hosting an online benefit auction through Sunday, May 29, surrounding the sixth annual event.
