The “big, outdoor, oldies but goodies concert” is coming back to town after a three-year hiatus, Harvey Robbins, President of the Friends of Prowse Farm, said.

All the proceeds from the concert will benefit the Friends of Prowse Farm Educational Center, according to Harvey Robbins, President of the Friends of Prowse Farm.

“It’s a great event where people can enjoy being on the property and people can bring picnic lunches,” Robbins said. 

Folks are encouraged to pack food and non-alcoholic beverages to enjoy the three-hour show.

Prowse Farm, which will host the Life is Good Festival in September, has hosted several fundraising events over the years.

This weekend’s event is open to all music lovers and residents.

“It’s open to everybody,” Robbins said. “It’s not the scale of the Life is Good Festival but it’s really a homey event. There will be  great music and a good time.”
