EVENT UPDATE! Please read below and help spread the word!

Due to the extreme heat warning, we've decided to move the live music by Gold Star Band indoors so everyone can stay cool and enjoy the evening comfortably! Vendors will still be set up outside on the back patio, and tram rides will be given around our loop with a stop at the Red Barn.

We still encourage you to bring a lawn chair to relax and enjoy the music.

Browse the list of vendors below and plan to stop by while you’re here!

▪ Kelm's BBQ
▪ Bar Next Door
▪ Udder Buddies
▪ Lucina Cocina
▪ Bizzy Blends Lemonade
▪ Barnyard Treasures.
▪ Mama's Mercantile

Tickets are available at farmamerica.org/events/band-for-the-barn or at the door. Please note this is an 18+ event.
