Gather up to 8 of your friends to spread out a picnic, soak up the warmth of the summer sun over Narragansett Bay, and enjoy a variety of musical performances by local musicians. Wednesday nights at Blithewold are the perfect way to enjoy summer with friends and family!

Guests are encouraged to bring picnic dinners and chairs or blankets. We have 33 acres of gardens and grounds, including a 10-acre lawn, where you can enjoy the music and gorgeous views over the bay.

Concerts take places on Wednesdays during the summer, June 4, 2025 to August 27, 2025 from 6 - 8 PM. View the 2025 Music at Sunset Concert Series schedule here.

Blithewold, a 33-acre summer estate with grand views of Narragansett Bay, is nationally significant in American history as one of the most fully developed and authentic examples of the Country Place era. The property features a 45-room manor house filled with family heirlooms, framed by a series of lovely gardens that range in character from mysterious to exotic, and from poetic to practical. The grounds include an exceptional collection of rare and unusual plants, specimen trees, an accessible greenhouse, and whimsical stonework.
