Greenwich August Bucket List!

We cannot believe it is already August! While this summer has been a blast, with many camps ending soon and Greenwich Public Schools not starting classes until September 1, there is still plenty of time to soak up and enjoy this last month of summer.

Scroll down for a list of our favorite activities to do in Greenwich and the surrounding towns this month to keep everyone smiling daily and to help your family build amazing memories of Summer 2022 – whether you want to go somewhere local for a couple of hours, or take a day trip, we have you covered!
