In addition to live music, the Earth Day Music Event will feature a wide array of food offerings provided by a number of excellent local vendors, including M n M Catering, Kaboburritos, Grain, Dylan’s Desserts and Kennett Brewing Company. For guests to wish to enjoy some cold, refreshing beers throughout the event, beverage sponsor Victory Brewing Company will provide beer for those who pay an additional $10 per person donation. In addition to food and drink offerings, attendees will enjoy raffles and other fun events throughout the afternoon and evening.
“This event began as a music concert for local bands and to celebrate Earth Day and it became a way to support our local Anson B. Nixon Park and The Garage Community and Youth Center. This year we have a lot of local talent from Kennett Square and Wilmington, and this event showcases some of our hometown music,” states event organizer Kris Smith.
This is also a kid-friendly event; the cost per child is a requested $5–$10 donation, with the funds going directly to benefit the children’s garden project at Anson B. Nixon Park. All other donations and ticket donations received for adult admission to go to benefit Anson B. Nixon Park community garden and children’s garden projects, which is operated by the Kennett Area Park Authority (KAPA).
