Event Details

Great Food, Great Music, Great Cause.

Join us on the lawn by the lake at Fourwinds Lakeside Inn on beautiful Lake Monroe for an evening concert party with great music, delicious food, cash bar, and lakeside fun

Featuring Ryan Berner playing Jimmy Buffett classics and other trop-rock favorites.  

For over a decade and a half I have been enjoying Ryan’s music, both his covers of our favorite sailing anthems and his original takes on island life. If you have the opportunity, do not miss the chance to see him perform. Regardless of where you are when you do, be prepared to feel the sun and warm island breezes flow from his music!” – Robbie Olsen, Facebook review 

2 Food Trucks -  We've lined up vegetarian & vegan options and food for omnivores – something for everyone! We will have Chef Mikki's Munchies (taco-in-a-bag, street corn, churro bites!) and Planted (your favorite vegan, plant-based delectable bites). Your ticket includes a meal and a dessert from the food truck of your choice (you can mix-and-match), plus a Coca-Cola product, glass of wine from Oliver Winery or canned cocktail from Cardinal Spirits

Cash Bar - The bar will literally only accept CASH payment.  There is an ATM inside the Inn. 

Silent Auction - We're bringing back this popular event from last year. Bring your cash, check, or credit card and bid on some amazing finds!

BYO camp-style chairs or blanket.  Please, no outside food/beverage and no pets. 

Fourwinds is located within a State Recreation Area. The gate fee to enter the State Recreation Area will be waived - just mention you are attending this event at the Fourwinds.

What happens if the lake level is high? Everyone will still have a great time lakeside on the lawn area above the beach!

Lake Monroe is the largest inland lake in Indiana situated minutes away from Bloomington with plenty to do!  Check out Visit Bloomington to plan your visit.

Proceeds benefit the Lake Monroe Water Fund.  

In case of severe weather, we will notify ticket-holders and the event will be held Sunday, August 9.
