This news is music to our ears.
Outdoor benefit concert SummerLark will return to Downtown WS on Saturday, May 9, for a family-friendly evening of live music, food and drink, photo booths, fireworks, and more.
Now in its 5th year, this annual fundraising event directly supports the Cancer Patient Support Program at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist’s Comprehensive Cancer Center, which provides individual counseling, support groups, financial assistance, and other vital services for patients and their families.
🎤 New year, new headliner
Headlining SummerLark 2026 is the Grammy-nominated pop-rock band The Fray, known for classic hits like “How to Save a Life” and “Over My Head”.
(We’d be lying if we said we didn’t own the CD version of their first album.)
They’ll be taking over the stage at Bailey Park in the Innovation Quarter, allowing the audience to choose between a laid-back lawn viewing with chairs and blankets or a heart-pumping classic concert experience right in front of the stage.
🎟️ Early bird pricing ends April 25
Tickets are available now, and they’re expected to go quickly, so we recommend securing yours sooner rather than later.
Can’t make it? You can still support the cause with a donation or sponsorship.
