More Than Music: Wine Garden, Giveaways & Local Eats
The Summer Concert Series experience extends beyond just the music, with the Wine Garden standing as a highlight of the event. This specially designated area allows concertgoers to sample and enjoy a selection of wines while contributing to a worthy cause.
All proceeds from Wine Garden ticket sales directly benefit Henrico CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), an organization dedicated to supporting children in the court system. This partnership transforms a night of entertainment into an opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of vulnerable children in our community.
For those looking to make an evening of the concert experience, the outdoor patio provides the ideal setting to enjoy dinner while taking in the performances. Local food options allow attendees to support neighborhood businesses while creating the perfect summer night out.
The thoughtful scheduling from 5 PM to 8 PM makes these Thursday events accessible for families, professionals after work, and anyone looking to enjoy live music without a late night. This community-focused approach embodies the spirit of the Summer Concert Series as both entertainment and a celebration of local connection.
