Newland Communities is gearing up for its eighth year of hosting its popular Concerts for a Cause. The concerts begin in early-September at the Newland Communities of Waterset in Apollo Beach and Bexley in Land O’Lakes and will feature well-known area bands.
All are open to the public. In lieu of admission, attendees are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items or cash donations, which will be distributed to Feeding Tampa Bay, the area’s leading food bank, which provides food to more than 700,000 people in a 10-county area of W. Florida, including Hillsborough and Pasco counties. According to Newland, last year’s concert series collected nearly 2,000 lbs. of food which helped provide nearly 14,000 meals to neighbors in need.
Concertgoers should bring lawn chairs, blankets and get ready for a great evening of music and fun for the whole family.
On Saturday, September 8 from 6-9 p.m., you can listen to The Black Honkeys headlining with a mix of rock, soul and Motown tunes. On Saturday, September 22 from 6–9 p.m. enjoy listening to the high energy variety of music from C’Nergy and Saturday and October 6 from 6-9 p.m., Frequency rocks the park with an array of songs from Top 40 hits to classic rock.
