Fair Oaks Farms to Host America's Top Jimmy Buffett Tribute Band at Its Backyard Concert on July 12th
Third Annual Backyard Concert to Feature Live Music, Food and Fun for the Whole Family
FAIR OAKS, Ind., July 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Looking to experience live music with Margaritaville and a Tropical State of Mind this summer!? Look no further than Fair Oaks Farms. On Friday, July 12th, the farm will host America's top Jimmy Buffett Tribute band – Gone 2 Paradise, a Jimmy Buffett Experience – as the headline act of its third annual Backyard Concert.
Set amongst the beautiful grounds at Fair Oaks Farms, this year's Backyard Concert will pay tribute to Jimmy Buffett's final wishes to 'Keep the party going' with a tribute band that has traveled the nation for 20 years celebrating the music of Parrot Heads worldwide. Opening act Whiskey Thomas will open the show with his unique blend of sounds, including Jimmy Buffett, Dave Matthews and the Eagles.
"We've hosted live music on the porch at Fair Oaks Farms for years and saw how much people loved being outside and enjoying music together, so we decided to host a larger scale event that would allow more people to participate," said Fair Oaks Farms Chief Operating Officer Ryan Weaver. "Our goal with the Backyard Concert series is to create a music experience that feels like you're sitting in your own backyard with your family and closest friends, so we hope everyone walks away with their fill of music and comradery."
Get a taste of Fair Oaks Farms' favorite foods throughout the concert, including the Farmhouse Food Truck and the Cowfe's signature grilled cheese sandwiches and ice cream available in a variety of flavors such as vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and mint chocolate chip. Beer and wine will also be available. No outside food or drink is allowed.
Looking for activities in between sets? Games such as cow ring toss, bags and Connect Four will be available throughout the event. Learn a bit about farming too through a variety of enrichment activities hosted by our museum guides. Concert goers can also win a free night stay at the on-site Fairfield by Marriott at Fair Oaks Farms or adventure passes for the farm's cow, pig and crop adventures by participating in a dress up contest. Don your favorite Parrot Head attire and be entered to win.
Gates open at 6 p.m. CST, with Whiskey Thomas taking the stage at 6:30 p.m. CST. The concert will end at 10 p.m. CST. Tickets are currently on sale for $18 at www.fofarms.com/byc.
