Concertgoers are encouraged to arrive early to explore the sculptures before the music begins.

Music begins at 5:00 p.m. with Reverand Raven and the Chain Smokin’ Alter Boys, Featuring Westside Andy. The show is free and open to the public. Beer, soda, and food will be available for purchase on-site, with proceeds supporting the Friends of San Damiano and WVMO Community Radio. Projected attendance is between 1,000 and 2,000 people.
