PLACERVILLE, Calif. – American River Conservancy (ARC) is excited to present its much-loved Concerts for a Cause series this summer at the historic Wakamatsu Farm in Placerville, California. These vibrant, family-friendly outdoor events offer delightful evenings filled with live music, delicious food, and community connections, all in support of preserving local rivers and lands for life.
Set beneath the open sky, this three-part concert series invites guests to enjoy performances by some of the region’s most popular bands, while savoring handcrafted food from Wani’s Tacos and a selection of refreshing beverages. Best of all, every ticket purchased supports ARC’s Resilience Reserve, which helps the Conservancy manage, restore, and care for the more than 14,000 acres of land that ARC has permanently protected.
“Our Resilience Reserve makes it possible for us to respond quickly to natural disasters and climate challenges,” said ARC’s Executive Director, Elena DeLacy. “By joining us for an evening of great music with our community, guests are also helping to safeguard the lands they love for future generations.”
