Connor’s Heroes Benefit

The benefit for Connor’s Heroes is free to attend, with $5 wristbands for Kid Zone activities.

“This year’s lineup is really exciting for area families who likely have never had the opportunity to see many of these musicians perform live,” says Donny Atkins of local kids’ group The Diggity Dudes. “We have gotten to know these acts from our time touring the east coast, and the quality of their music is really top-notch. They have been featured on XM Kids Place Live and many other Internet radio shows, and we’re thrilled to be bringing them to Richmond.”

In addition to popular local performers The Diggity Dudes and Hope Harris and Cousins Jamboree, DiggityFEST performers include:

  • Grammy Award-nominated musician Justin Roberts
  • Rolie Polie Guacamole
  • Steven Courtney & the Suitcase Musicians
  • Alastair Moock
  • Jonathan Austin will also be on-hand to wow the crowds with his masterful magic and juggling feats.

Local food trucks and other concessions will be available, as well as a host of activities for the kids, including:

  • Zero Gravity Bungee Trampoline
  • Game It Up game truck, bounce houses, and more
