You're invited! Step into the heart of Niles for LEAF’s annual backyard music concert: a laid-back celebration where community, creativity, and good tunes come together in support of regenerative gardening, environmental education, and local food donation programs.

Hosted by LEAF Founder, Vice President, and local musician Bruce Cates, the concert features performances from seven local bands, seedling & honey sales, all set against a hand-built outdoor backyard stage. Think couches under the trees, string lights overhead, and just good vibez overall :)

- Live music from 2:00 - 9:00 p.m.
- A bring-your-own (BYO) community potluck + drinks
- LEAF-grown seedlings and honey for sale

All are welcome and free to attend. Donations to support LEAF’s mission are warmly appreciated.

If you’re able, bring a dish and your favorite drink to share for the community potluck. But if not, no worries—just come as you are. There’s always room at the table!

When: Saturday, May 17, 2025 | 2:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.
Where: 37978 2nd Street, Niles (Fremont), CA 94536

Meet Zoe, artist, soil scientist, and longtime LEAF volunteer, who led 41 volunteers over four months to bring our community mural to life. Most were first-time painters, but together they created a vibrant tribute to native plants, wildlife, and the life teeming below our feet.
