It’s time for some outdoor fun, and we can’t think of anything better than the combination of bike riding, burgers, and bands! Get some fresh air out in the country when you head to Red Acre Farm in Cedar City. This charming farm hosts all kinds of cool events, including summer concerts once a month. Check it out:
Red Acre Farm is truly a special place. A family-owned venture, the farm is run by Sara and Symbria Patterson, a mother and daughter team who raise animals and grow fruit, vegetables, and herbs, which they offer for sale to members of the community.
Community is a big deal in this neck of the woods, and the farm provides much more than food - it offers community events throughout the year. The Burgers, Bands, & Bikes Festival is a favorite, and it starts on June 12th.
The burgers are all made with beef and pork raised right on the farm, and they're served with lettuce (also grown here), farmstead cheese, special secret sauce, and onions. They're served on a handmade brioche bun - delicious!
Bands are sponsored by local community businesses, and the concerts are free (though tips for the band are greatly appreciated). Bring a blanket or chair, and BYOB if you'd like, too.
The farm doesn't require you to purchase food, but does request that you don't bring outside food to the event.
This year's Burgers, Bikes, & Bands concerts are offered on June 12th, July 17th, August 14th, and September 11th. The events run from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Make sure to visit the Red Acre Farm website to learn more about its Burgers, Bands, and Bikes concert series, and check out all the other cool events and activities there.
While you’re in the Cedar City area, make the drive out to Old Irontown. It’s allegedly one of Utah’s most haunted ghost towns.
