Pay-What-You-Can Folk Rock Concert Supports Food Justice In Herndon

HERNDON, VA — Arts Herndon will host a community benefit concert advocating for food justice in the DMV area on Sunday as part of its Compassion and Action Concert Series.

The event, a precursor to a planned monthly concert series in 2027, will use a pay-what-you-can donation model to raise funds to provide basic necessities to vulnerable families in the community.

Performers include Crossing Elden, a Northern Virginia songwriting duo that plays original songs and covers of folk, rock and pop music; Alexinder Gunn, an independent musician from Fredericksburg, VA; and Julia Kasdorf, a Loudoun County singer-songwriter who won the Loudoun Times-Mirror's Best Local Artist award in 2020.

The event will also feature a children's coloring activity, local artisan crafts, West African cuisine and Weird Brothers Coffee. The concert runs from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at Arts Herndon, 750 Center Street.
