The Mod Scene is more than a moment in history, it’s a lifestyle rooted in style, sound, art, and attitude.

Born in late 1950s London and bursting into full color by the 1960s, Mod culture fused music, fashion, scooters, and modernist art into a vibrant youth movement. Sharp suits, Lambrettas and Vespas, R&B beats, and bold visual statements were all part of a life lived with passion, energy, and sophistication.

​

At The Mod Factory in Willimantic, Connecticut, we’re working to build a modern Mod community, one that honors the spirit of the original scene while adding our own creative twist.

Here, the Mod revival isn't just about nostalgia. It’s about living the look, feeling the music, riding the scooters, and supporting the art that continues to inspire. We're connecting music lovers, scooter enthusiasts, artists, and style leaders through a shared love of:

​

• Art: Mid-century modern and pop art influences celebrated in local exhibitions and creative workshops.

• Music: Live performances, DJ sets, and dance nights featuring Mod, Northern Soul, Ska, British Beat, and R&B classics.

• Events: Scooter rallies, vinyl listening parties, Mod fashion shows, and community gatherings.

• Scootering: Building a scene for vintage Vespa and Lambretta lovers, with rides, meet-ups, and rallies.

 

Willimantic has always been a city with creativity at its core, and now, it's the perfect place to spark a Mod revival.

Whether you're a longtime Mod, a curious newcomer, or simply someone drawn to the style, sound, and energy of the era, The Mod Factory welcomes you.
