Anythink Backyard Concert Series | Presented by Xcel Energy

Our longtime concert tradition continues this summer with three online performances that will stream on Facebook and YouTube. We'll have new and fun ways for you to interact and connect with the band, with the library, and with each other – from the comfort of your home. We'll be sharing more details about those opportunities in the coming weeks.

The Backyard Concert Series is made possible by generous support from our community sponsor, Xcel Energy.

Celebrate local music, support the library

The Anythink Backyard Concert Series is a fundraiser for the Anythink Foundation, and funds raised will help Anythink to provide special programs and projects for the community. Help us reach our fundraising goal with a donation. Donate online or by texting BACKYARD to 50155.
