Our longtime concert tradition returns for its 11th year this summer with three exciting in-person shows.
Grab the family and meet new neighbors at the one-acre park adjacent to Anythink Wright Farms, located at 5877 E. 120th Ave. in Thornton. You don’t even have to pack your picnic basket – we’ll have food and beverages available for purchase at a minimal price, including sandwiches from Nosh Catering, frozen treats from Em’s Ice Cream, wine from The Infinite Monkey Theorem and beer from Great Divide.
Not only is this a fun, free Friday night – it’s also a fundraiser for the Anythink Foundation. All proceeds from this year’s Backyard Concert Series will go toward making the performing arts more accessible to our community in 2024. From free passes to local performances and immersive theater productions at a local Anythink, the money raised will allow us to bring this critical art form right here to Adams County residents of all ages and backgrounds. Supporters can donate in-person or online.
The Backyard Concert Series, presented by Amazon, is free and open to the public from 6:30-8:30 pm on the second Friday of each month this summer. Food and drinks will be available starting at 5:30 pm.
What can I bring to the Backyard Concert Series?
What should I leave at home?
The concert will take place rain or shine. Parking is limited, and we encourage everyone to carpool or use alternative methods of transportation like public transit, bicycles, or ridesharing apps.
About the band
A rare and remarkable musical duo with undeniable magical chemistry, The Reminders transcend the bounds of expectation to uplift and entertain. They seamlessly blend razor-sharp rhythms and raw, soulful vocals with reggae-tinged hip-hop beats to highlight their relevant and inspiring messages. The couple shares a partnership in both music and life as Samir and Aja have been married for over a decade. The Reminders performed at the 2021 Backyard Concert Series, and this will be their second time making music in the Anythink Wright Farms backyard.
