Fun For The Family – Art, Food, Student Concerts
In keeping with Festival tradition, LJF will continue to feature student performances, food vendors and art/craft exhibitors. This year these activities will take place on Saturday, July 27 only and will be open and free to the public! We are calling this the LJF OuterFest. The LJF OuterFest (Saturday, July 27 11am-5pm) will happen at The First Congregational Church and Green in Washington, CT. The OuterFest is located just a short walk away from the performance hall where the Mainstage Festival concerts will be held. These activities are made possible this year with the generous support of the Connecticut Community Foundation. Visitors will be able to view and shop works by some of the finest visual artists and crafters in the region. Enjoy a full day of music by Litchfield Jazz Camp combos at Washington First Congregation Church, family-friendly activities and food vendors on the grounds also!
