It’s that time of the year again! The annual paint party turns 5 this year. We throw down this June 27th, 3pm-on.

To celebrate here are some of our favorite memories from the previous years.

What started as a simple idea of getting a few friends together to put some paint on this giant red barn has become one of my favorite days of the year. This year we bring back some of our favorite musicians from previous shows and some new faces as well.

Stay tuned for that announcement as well as some others as we lead up to the day.
