Start your holiday weekend off right with a high-energy, deep-grooving celebration of the Grateful Dead!

Born out of a shared passion in the Citi Field parking lot, Shakedown Citi has quickly built a reputation across the Northeast as one of the absolute best Dead tributes on the circuit. Rather than just copying studio tracks, they channel the raw, spontaneous, and adventurous energy of peak-era Grateful Dead. Expect meticulously crafted setlists packed with iconic anthems, deep album cuts, and soaring, multi-part improvisational jams.

Labor Day Weekend Backyard Vibes

Kick off your long weekend with the ultimate Friday night hangout at the base of Talcott Mountain State Park:

• Food Truck Lineup: Grab delicious bites from our featured local food trucks parked on-site or order fresh, made-to-order favorites directly from the Collective Kitchen.

• On Draft: Celebrate the holiday weekend with a massive, rotating tap list of regional craft beers, local hard ciders, and specialty summer cocktails.

• Get Comfortable: Show up early with your favorite lawn chairs and blankets to claim a prime spot on the grass, play a round of cornhole, or catch up with friends by the fire pits.

🚫 House Reminder: To fully support the local vendors and the venue making this event possible, please note that no outside food or drinks are permitted anywhere on the property.

Gather your fellow Deadheads, pack up the lawn chairs, and bring your leashed pups—this is going to be an unforgettable Labor Day kickoff on the mountain!
