SOUTHWICK

Southwick is a Pioneer Valley town on the Connecticut border with a pair of venues that book live entertainment.

The Southwick Inn and Blackboard Congamond both host live music, typically weekend bands and acoustic acts. The venues serve the local community and draw from the surrounding border-area towns.

Southwick's entertainment is low-key and community-focused. The venues are neighborhood gathering spots where the emphasis is on a relaxed good time.

Tip: Both venues are accessible along the Route 10/202 corridor. For larger shows, Springfield and West Springfield venues are a short drive north.
