Hug Your Farmer returns to the Flynn Center’s Main Stage on Friday, Nov. 20, at 7:30 p.m., this year as a tribute to the 50th anniversary of The Band’s 1976 farewell concert, “The Last Waltz.”
The Flynn’s event page says 100% of proceeds support Vermont farmers. Now in its 16th year, the benefit series organized with Select “has raised more than $1 million for local Vermont farming initiatives,” the theater said, and “in the last three years alone, Hug Your Farmer concerts have raised more than $500,000 for the Vermont Community Foundation’s farming initiatives.” Tickets are $41.75 to $62.75.
The program, billed as “The Last Waltz,” will bring “an all-star lineup of Vermont musicians and special guests to revisit the songs, spirit, and communal magic of that classic night,” the Flynn said, spanning rock, roots, soul, folk, gospel, blues and Americana. The theater did not list individual performers on that page. Seven Days and Vermont Public’s events calendar both list the same Nov. 20, 7:30 p.m. Flynn date.
Reserved parking at the Marketplace Garage, when offered, is $15 starting at 5 p.m., the Flynn said. The theater is at 153 Main Street in Burlington. Box office: 802-863-5966.
