*** Anythink continues the Backyard Concert series on July 8th with New Orleans-flavored rhythm and blues band King Cake. Featuring Erica Brown and Merrian "MJ" Johnson, this Denver-based band performs a variety of funk and soul music. The Backyard Concert Series is a family-friendly tradition that celebrates music and community while also raising funds for the Anythink Foundation. ***
Gather your friends and family for the 2022 Backyard Concert Series at the one-acre park adjacent to Anythink Wright Farms.
The Backyard Concert Series is FREE and open to the public, from 6:30-8:30 pm, on the second Friday of each month.
Though this is a free event, the Backyard Concert Series is also a fundraiser for the Anythink Foundation.
All proceeds from this year’s Backyard Concert Series will help us enhance and expand Anythink’s pollinator gardens. The gardens will be beautiful, soothing spaces for our community to connect with nature and further the learning and understanding of pollinators in our area. Your support will help us enrich local communities through exploration, learning, and play. Supporters can donate in-person, online or by texting BACKYARD to 50155.
