Willowell Boogie Benefit

Save the Date for the Willowell Boogie Benefit in Bristol 

Saturday February 14th at 6:00 PM!

Love your local non-profit and shake off winter with this fun, family-friendly, community event at Holley Hall in Bristol.

Join us for live music by The Almendros, a cash bar, tacos by Food is Love, and a silent auction packed with exciting items from local businesses and artists. All proceeds benefit Willowell’s scholarship fund, allowing all children to attend Willowell programs, regardless of ability to pay.

The Almendros are a multinational Addison County band with a diverse, highly danceable repertoire — and at this year’s Boogie Benefit they’ll be performing “Destination Unknown,” their recently released second album of original music. An eight-piece group with six vocalists, horns and multiple percussionists, the Almendros are powered by longtime players on the local music scene. “Destination Unknown” features 14 songs by the band’s five songwriters, with styles that range from funk, blues and country-rock to reggae, ska and calypso. The band’s show will also include covers of songs by Sam and Dave, the Beatles, Orchestra Baobab, Elvis Costello, and Nathaniel Radcliffe and the Night Sweats.

All funds raised will support Willowell’s scholarship fund for youth programming for programs such as Pond Brook Middle School, Walden, New Roots, Wren’s Nest Forest Preschool, and Summer Camps. Come out and celebrate our mission of cultivating healthy communities by connecting people to the arts, education, the environment, and each other.

All are welcome to this fun-filled, family friendly evening in support of nature-based programming in Addison County✨

Tickets are $10 at the door. Children 12 and under are free!

Bring cash or venmo for the bar, meal ticket, and auction.
