🎶2nd Annual Music With a Mission: More Than a Concert 🎶
With Little Texas Headlining!
Mark your calendars for Sunday, September 7th because this isn’t just a music event, it’s a movement with a purpose. 💥
When we launched Music With a Mission, it wasn’t just to bring incredible live music to our town (though we love that part too!). We started this annual concert to rally our community around two meaningful goals:
🚒 Raising funds for a much-needed new fire engine for our dedicated local fire department. These brave men are first on the scene when we need them most and they deserve the best tools to keep us safe.
🎭 Helping build a permanent amphitheater at Lake Pittsfield, where future concerts, community plays, dance recitals, and other performances can come to life in a space built for connection and creativity.
This concert doesn't just uplift our community; it helps it grow. Each year, we hope to bring people from all across the state to visit Pittsfield for Music With a Mission, bringing fresh energy and support to our local shops, restaurants, and small businesses. 🛍️🍔
Tickets go on Sale August 1st online at eventbrite.com or pick up tickets at City Hall. You can also scan the QR code on the flyer to purchase tickets.
