Join the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests for Vista & Vibes Festival on Saturday, August 23 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Forest Society North at The Rocks, 113 Glessner Road in Bethlehem.

Vista & Vibes Festival starts at 5 p.m. with singer-songwriter Autumn Chamberlain, followed by The Red hat Band at 6 p.m., a three-piece powerhouse blending rock, country, and blues.

“The Vista & Vibes Festival is a great way to wrap up your summer,” states Kristine Arey, program director at The Rocks for the Forest Society. “The concert is free, with donations collected at the door to support the work of the Forest Society, so that we may create more community events like this possible. So, grab your blanket and chair and come join us for some great music.”

The concert is free; however, registration is requested for planning purposes and can be done online at https://www.forestsociety.org/events. Walk-ins are encouraged day of the event. Attendees are welcome to bring camp chairs and pack a picnic or enjoy snacks from the concessions. Pets are welcome but must be leashed; the setting is a beautiful outdoor lawn amphitheater with sweeping views of the White Mountains.

ABOUT THE ROCKS
The Rocks is a 1,400-acre property, owned and managed by the Forest Society. Built as a working farm in the 1880s by John Jacob Glessner, a cofounder of International Harvester, The Rocks retains much of the grandeur of White Mountain retreats – exceptional period architecture, an Olmsted-designed Garden, and a network of woodland trails open to the public year-round. In 1978 descendants of the Glessner family donated The Rocks to the Forest Society, which has operated it since as a vibrant Christmas tree farm, conservation and nature education center, and working forest.
