Arts & Culture

Whatever you enjoy, you'll enjoy it here!

Live Entertainment
You may find yourself dancing in the aisles to live music or laugh until you cry with comedians who grace the state-of-the-art stage at the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, affectionately called "The Kate" after Old Saybrook's most famous resident. Without even leaving town you'll have the best seat in the house to experience opera through The Met: Live in HD or be enthralled with classical theater performed by local talent. 

Dining
From comfort food to fine dining to the best (only?) lobster hotdog on the eastern seaboard, your cravings will be satisfied in our local restaurant scene. 

Arts
The Annual Arts &  Crafts Festival in July brings artists and craftsmen to the Town Green for a weekend of creative immersion. The home of the Old Lyme Art Colony, the epicenter of American Impressionism, is just minutes away where you will find art studios and the Florence Griswold Museum noted for its collection of American Impressionist paintings.
 

History
Native Americans, colonists and revolutionaries left their stories on Old Saybrook's shores for you to discover. The Old Saybrook Historical Society housed in the historic Hart House on Main Street will literally walk you through our local history with self-guided tours and has preserved an archival library reknowned for its historic treasures. Learn about the Seige & Battle of Saybrook Fort with our app that takes you on a historic walking tour of Saybrook Point.
