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 Discounted general admission for those who grab tickets early and help get things started. Same access as general admission, just at a lower price for early supporters. Community Builder For those who want to lean in a little closer. This pre show experience begins at 6PM and includes a private mixer with light snacks, space to connect with others in the community, and an intimate performance by Mark Nanni before the main event. A more personal way to experience the night and support what we are building. General Admission Standard entry to the event. Doors open at 7PM. Come for the music, the people, and the energy as the night unfolds. Whether you come early to connect, or arrive for the main show, Bloom is where the season begins.
