Bring the whole family to Under the Tent, a free family concert series featuring lively performances by local folk, bluegrass, and kindie rock musicians. With toe-tapping tunes and a festive atmosphere, these concerts are a fun introduction to a range of musical genres and styles.

For Community Day, The Mount welcomes MISTER G! Ben Gundersheimer is a Latin GRAMMY Award-winning artist, author, and educator. Hailed as a “bilingual rock star” by The Washington Post, he was originally dubbed MISTER G by his young students while pursuing a Master of Education degree. His dynamic, interactive bilingual performances aim to dissolve borders and foster cross-cultural connections.

Get ready for a day of music, stories, and hands-on fun at The Mount’s second annual multicultural Community Day, Saturday, August 9, 11:00 am – 2:00 pm!
