The 2nd Annual Greenwich Town Party took place recently and it was an absolute blast. It was a music, food, fun fest for community members of all ages, the Greenwich Town Party brought people together for a celebration of community spirit and mutual generosity. Greenwich resident Ray Dalio's vision for the event was to bring all parts of the diverse Greenwich community together to not only attend the event, but also to contribute something to the event similar to a "block party" where everyone throws something in the pot. And what a Party it was! Event planners thought of everything from an easy to use website to a broadcast out to Indian Harbor, where boaters could watch a huge high-definition screen and feel like they were right there at the event. The entertainment was spectacular, Alyson Cambridge performed the National Anthem, The Trummytones, The Wailers, Roy and The Munsons, Kirk Franklin, The Bramblemen, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals,School of Rock Allstars, Tedeschi Trucks Band all played, along with Caroline Jones. To top off the afternoon, Dave Matthews paid a surprise visit to celebrate GTP Director Mark Vallely's birthday. And Connecticut neighbor from New Canaan, Paul Simon, gave a fabulous evening concert.
