With themes of longing, terror, and humor, Adorners bring Arkansas’s haunted history to life, creating a connection between past and present. The night will open with a performance by Sally Jo Roussin, setting the stage for an evening filled with storytelling and spectral melodies.
Make sure to reserve your free tickets in advance. Although the concerts are free, reservations help ensure everyone has a great experience, especially if we need to move indoors. And if you’re hungry, why not add a large pizza to your ticket and make it a full evening of fun?
Pizza will not be available on the October 4th performance, but drinks will be available.
So grab your friends, your family, and your blankets, and head up the mountain for a magical night of music, community, and the beautiful outdoors.
