Hancher welcomes back our entire community for a music festival-style event on our front lawn. Students, locals, and visitors can sit, dance, and enjoy the music, fellowship, and late-summer rays as a stellar line up of artists grace our outdoor stage. The event opens with a return play from Iowa native turned big city rocker Elizabeth Moen and closes with the electronic/R&B dance party of Dawn Richard. Superstar songwriter and vocalist Brittany Howard will headline this show (playing in the middle) and carry us all the way home as we celebrate the end of summer and embrace a new school year.

Bring your friends—and your own chairs or blankets—and grab something to eat from the food trucks on site.
