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
Buffet Tribute band – Gone 2 Paradise, a Jimmy Buffet 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.
