It’s been quiet. Too quiet. Artists and musicians alike have been itching for a new place to visit, to enjoy, to participate. A place where they can perform and witness self-expression by others. Thus, the necessity for The Stomping Ground became apparent. A social setting where everyone is welcome, respected, and encouraged to be themselves.

Located in the heart of the budding town of Putnam, CT, The Stomping Ground is a new music and art venue, serving food and libations, but with a focus on live performances and contemporary art.
