The concert features big sing-along moments and pop and rock inspired arrangements, powered by a cast of princesses, villains, and Disney divas for a nostalgic, joy-filled experience. The group has appeared at major festivals alongside artists such as Stevie Nicks, Joan Jett, and Green Day. Families, Disney fans, and anyone ready to relive the magic are welcome. Costumes are encouraged, and singing along is part of the fun.

A monthly potluck for Rainbow Seniors centers on shared food, conversation, and connection. Everyone is welcome. Participants are encouraged to bring a dish to share, whether homemade or store bought, and enjoy plenty of good food with friendly company. Weather permitting, part of the gathering may take place in the alley near Wander Cafe. It is in the same building as Tito’s and Berkshire Pride. For accessible entry, use the door on the parking lot side of the building and take the elevator to the first floor.

Make a $10 donation and receive a framed 4x6 keepsake photo of your pet. Themes rotate monthly, with options such as Beach Party, Patriotic, Back to School, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Because the effort is entirely volunteer-run, 100% of donations go straight to helping pets in need, turning a fun photo session into real support for animals.
