dedicated to making Ridgefield an even better place to live.

We had a great 2022 season and are now planning an equally great one for 2023. Follow our announcements on Facebook,com/Chirpct.

The Season begins: Tues. June 6: The RTs

They say it takes nearly a decade for a wine to mature. The same could be said for The RT’s (formerly the Rad Trads). If you caught their brand of raucous, beer-soaked trad jazz and blues in the early days, you’ll see the same ingredients (boisterous horns, impassioned vocals, and a driving groove) but a new flavor, and the kind of maturity and subtlety that only comes with time.

CHIRP will present free outdoor family concerts open to the public in Ridgefield’s Ballard Park every Tues. and Thurs. from Tues. June 6 through August 31, 2023

And please , we need your donations to make this happen. http://www.chirpct.org/donate

This year there is no need for pre-registration. Come on out and join us

CHIRP Concerts are Tuesdays and Thursdays from Memorial Day through Labor Day . This year we begin June 1

CHIRP is a series of free Tuesday and Thursday night summer concerts in Ballard Park located in the heart of Ridgefield. CHIRP is totally funded by individual and foundation donations as well as contributions from local businesses. It is co-sponsored by the town of Ridgefield through its Parks & Rec. Dep’t. and The Ridgefield Press. Concerts begin at 7p.m. Please understand that we love dogs BUT they are not permitted in Ballard Park.

CHIRP’s mission is to present to its audience music and professional musicians who would not normally otherwise have a venue in the Ridgefield/Danbury area. It’s main goals are to build community through shared experience as well as to enhance Ridgefield’s reputation as a “Destination”
