Photo: Bison Bone (from their website) || Our longtime concert tradition returns to Anythink Wright Farms 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 delicious barbecue from Dickey’s Barbecue Pit 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 help us expand The Anythink Box, a subscription service that provides kids ages 5-12 with books at their doorstep. The initiative was so popular upon launch that it’s since grown to include a waitlist of interested families. Your support will help us reach more kids in Adams County with this one-of-a-kind service. Supporters can donate in-person, online or by texting BACKYARD to 50155. This year’s lineup includes:
Bison Bone – Friday, Aug. 13 – 6:30-8:30 pm
The Backyard Concert Series is free and open to the public, from 6:30-8:30 pm, on the second Friday of each month. Food and drinks will be available starting at 5:30 pm. You can also watch the concerts live from anywhere with our Facebook and YouTube livestreams.

What should I leave at home?
Let’s keep each other safe – remember to stay home if you’re not feeling well. You can always catch the concerts from home by tuning in to our livestreams on Facebook and YouTube.
No outside alcohol is allowed. In order to continue hosting these fun, family-friendly events, we must strictly enforce this policy. Instead, please enjoy beer from our vendors available on-site for purchase – and for a great cause! Guests must be 21 years or older with ID to purchase alcohol.
What else?
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.
