Old Lyme’s Midsummer Festival, a highly anticipated summer event, is a town-wide celebration of the arts. Since the early 20th century Old Lyme, Connecticut has been known to artists and art lovers alike as a haven for the arts. This quintessential New England celebration for all ages takes place in the heart of Old Lyme's historic district, with activities spanning three locations along Lyme Street – the Florence Griswold Museum, the Lyme Art Association, and the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts. For more information visit www.OldLymeMidsummerFestival.com.

A favorite event of the day is Market En Plein Air at the Florence Griswold Museum. This outdoor market features Connecticut-grown flowers, fruits, vegetables, breads, fine cheeses, herbs and specialty foods in a setting modeled after outdoor markets in French villages.
