2026 Greenwich Town Party Community Ticket Lottery Opens Soon: Details

GREENWICH, CT — The Greenwich Town Party 2026 Community Ticket lottery will open up on Feb. 21, giving Greenwich residents, employees, and students the chance to apply for general admission Community Tickets.

This year's event is scheduled for May 23 at Roger Sherman Baldwin Park.

Dave Matthews and fellow Dave Matthews Band member and guitarist, Tim Reynolds, will headline the event, along with John Fogerty, the leader of Creedence Clearwater Revival, and GTP favorites, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.

For the second year, the Main Stage will host a performance for children, with the Sesame Street live production "Elmo's Got The Moves."

Local bands will perform on the Town Stage throughout the day. The local band lineup will be announced at a later date.

The Community Ticket Lottery exists to give all eligible community members the equal chance to purchase Community Tickets to GTP.

The lottery will open at 9 a.m. on Feb. 21 and remain open for submissions through Wednesday, March 11, at 11:59 p.m.

Greenwich residents, Greenwich employees, and Greenwich students are all eligible to submit an application for the online ticket lottery. All lottery submissions are verified for Greenwich residency or employment.

During the application process, community members can sign up to purchase up to four adult tickets, up to four children’s tickets (ages 2-12), and one baby ticket.

The cost for 2026 Community Tickets is $100 per adult ticket and $20 per children’s ticket ages 2–12, plus taxes and fees. Tickets are free of charge for children under the age of 2, but they must have a ticket to attend the event.

All applications are entered into the ticket lottery equally; no preference is given to date and time of application submission within the open period, organizers said in an announcement Wednesday.

After the lottery closes, randomly selected applicants are notified by email if they have won. Winners have the option to opt out within 24 hours or their credit card will be automatically charged for the tickets they have requested on their application.

All Community tickets for the 2026 event are sold exclusively through this lottery.
