Mystic Eats is a fun event for the whole family with plenty of activities and games for kids to enjoy. Beat the back-to-school blues by taking the kids for a sampling of the area’s best ice cream, cookies and other sweet treats. Saturday and Sunday will include children’s shows, face painting and balloons!

Dance the night away to live music from some of Mystic’s favorite local bands. Kicking off the event on Friday night will be The Cartells. On Saturday, don’t miss Dan Watson, The Kevin Crandall Band and High Times. On Sunday, check out Tommy Giarratano and Eight to the Bar.

Not only does Mystic Eats bring together so many great restaurants, it helps support a great cause in our community. A portion of the event’s proceeds will be donated to MASH (Mystic Area Shelter and Hospitality, Inc.), a non-profit charity that strives to end family homelessness.

Mystic Eats would not be possible without the support of our generous and hardworking sponsors, including Seaport Marine, F&F Distributors, Levine Distributing Co., Coca Cola Bottling, Jonathan Edwards Winery, ABC Photo, Arrow Paper, Mystic River Ambulance, The Westerly Sun, The Day and Full Power Radio.
