WHERE: Doodad Farm, 4701 Land Road, Greensboro, NC 27406WHEN: 3PM to 8pm, Sunday, May 17, 2026
COST: Requested donation of $20 per adult at the gate. Please donate more if you can afford it. No one will be denied entry.
Every spring, Doodad Farm hosts a tribute/fundraiser event to help a local non-profit that serves our community. This year we’re creating a uniquely relevant tribute. Since our country’s current political turmoil will no doubt darken the celebration of our 250th anniversary, we’ve decided to roll the calendar back to 1976, our bicentennial, for a day of nostalgia, music, and hope. More than just the music from 1976, we’ll also be conjuring up pieces of pop culture, history, and other memories from that era. We encourage everyone to leave the present behind and, along with our performers, pretend that we’ve all traveled back fifty years to a simpler time. So dress the part if you’re so inclined!
We’re grateful to have a long list of renowned regional musicians volunteering to perform their versions of these enduring songs. We’ll release the names of the bands soon.
EVERYONE is welcome, as always, to enjoy this event. Feel free to bring chairs, coolers, picnics, and friendly pets. We'll also have a food truck for your dining pleasure. We'll have games and activities for kids and adults as well.
We're asking for at least a $20 cash donation per adult as you enter the event space, every cent of which goes to The Arc of High Point. This 100% policy is possible because all of our generous performers are volunteers, as well as all of our helpers. No guests will be turned away if they can't afford entry, but we hope that everyone will contribute according to their ability to support The Arc of High Point's important work.
HOW YOU CAN HELP: First, SPREAD THE WORD about this unique event through social media and word of mouth. Second, if you'd like to volunteer to help prepare for this show, or want to help during the event, we'd appreciate your assistance. Third, if you'd like to volunteer to help The Arc of High Point or wish to make your own direct donation, go to arcofhp.org to learn more.
Thanks to Pam Lynch for her original art for this show.
