Spotlight on Main: Thomaston
Momentum is building in Thomaston!
The town is holding a series of summer events to celebrate their 150th anniversary, they recently worked with NVCOG to update their Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD), they completed their 3rd annual CMSC Main Street Management Assessment, AND they implemented their Main Street Accelerator project resulting from their 2024 Cohort team work.
Our next Spotlight on Main will include networking time, presentations from local officials and a guided walking tour. The event kicks off with networking at Clocktown Brewery, located in a section of the former Seth Thomas Clock Factory. Thomaston Economic Development Commission will lead a presentation that provides insights on volunteer engagement, discuss what’s driving the positive change in downtown and some of the challenges they are up against.
Event Schedule
This event is rain or shine.

During our walking tour, we’ll see the branded elements that are helping to shape Thomaston’s unique sense of place.

We’ll walk the future site of the Greenway connecting Watertown and Torrington and hear how the revitalized green space has brought together the community.

New England’s #1 Pink Floyd Experience, Floydian Trip aims to recreate some of the spectacular and moving live performances that Pink Floyd became known for in the 1970s and 1980s. This era is sometimes known as the “Roger Waters Years.” Floydian Trip recreates the sound in both the performance and tone of how Floyd would have been heard if you were seeing them live on stage during the Dark Side of the Moon Tour, Wish You Were Here Tour, In the Flesh (Pink Floyd) Tour, or The Wall Tour. Floydian Trip painstakingly recreates the classic Pink Floyd live experience. The band has poured over thousands of hours of official, unofficial, and bootleg audio and video of Pink Floyd between 1973 and 1981 in order to create the most authentic live Pink Floyd experience you can witness.
