Harvesting the desire for a vibrant local food system and a bright green Omaha, Raise the Roots combines live music, area food vendors and multi-media experiences to create a sustainable community.
Following in the footsteps of predecessor event “Hootenanny” (founded by Lori Tatreau), Raise the Roots will launch its inaugural happening on October 5th from 5:00 to 8:00pm at the Waiting Room. The Sunday evening of genre-spanning music and local bites will be friendly for grownups (drink specials) and kids (sweet vegetable crafts). Festivities will begin with a kick-off presentation at 5:15 pm, followed by live music from Clarence Tilton and McCarthy Trenching. Featured speaker Ben Gottschall of Bold Nebraska will also share the latest from the frontlines of the pipeline debate.During the event, local organizations including The Sierra Club, No More Empty Pots, The Dundee Community Garden and other community partners will host information booths.
All ages are welcome and hands-on kids activities will be provided. Admission is $5.00 for adults, and free for children under 12. Proceeds benefit the Nebraska Farmers Union and other community partners.
