Join us for Bloom, a night of live music, creative energy, and community connection as we kick off the BareRoots season. Bloom is our annual spring fundraiser and the driving force behind what happens in Thornden Park each September. Every dollar raised helps us uplift the Syracuse creative community, support local artists, and continue creating a space where people can gather, discover new music, and feel connected to the culture of this city. BareRoots is free by design. We believe everyone should be able to show up and feel welcome. Bloom is how we keep it that way while continuing to grow what the festival can offer. Expect a night of live performances, a raffle, great drinks from Middle Ages Brewery, and the same creative spirit that makes BareRoots special. Ticket Types Early Bird:
Early access tickets for those ready to jump in and help kick off the season. Community Builder:
For those who want to lean in a little closer, a limited number of Community Builders Pre-Show tickets are available. This VIP experience includes early entry before doors open to the public and access to a private stripped-down performance by Mark Nannie in a smaller setting. It’s a chance to connect, experience the music up close, and directly support what we’re building for September.  General Admission (At the Door):
Standard entry available at the door the night of the event, space permitting. Whether you come to enjoy the music, reconnect with the community, or help support what’s being built, Bloom is where the season begins.
