2021 Outdoor Anniversary Concert
About: In 2021, the Barns of Rose Hill presented at an outdoor concert to celebrate our tenth anniversary. This year, we’re excited to host yet another outdoor concert as our gift to the community. Featuring live music by the Silver Tones Swing Band, food and beverage vendors, and children’s activities, this joyous event is the perfect way to spend your summer break! Bring a camp chair or a picnic blanket and join us for a celebration of the arts.
Location: The concert will be held in the grassy amphitheater area between the Barns of Rose Hill (95 Chalmers Ct) and the Berryville-Clarke County Government Center (101 Chalmers Ct). Public parking is available at the Government Center or the Municipal Parking Lot across Rose Hill Park. The Barns of Rose Hill will be open for the duration of the event, including the Lower Gallery and the recently renovated Visitors Center. Take a break from the heat to see “Solstice,” the ShenArts Members Exhibition, and collect brochures and information for the best sites in and around Clarke County.
