Holiday Food Drive to benefit Mother Marianne's West Side Kitchen, a local organization providing meals to unhoused and underserved populations in the Utica area. Friday December 4th, 2026 Doors 5pm First Band 6pm $20 Admission includes entry into raffles for $100 Wal Mart gift card & $50 Amazon Gift card Canned & shelf-stable food being collected at the show - any food items donated will give additional ticket entries for the raffles. Additional raffle tickets will also be available for purchase with proceeds going to purchase more food. After a three year absence, international touring act KEEP FLYING will return to Utica with their pop-driven rock that features saxophone and trombone (but don't call it ska.) Joining the bill from Baltimore, MD are JOINT OPERATION, a gang of cheeky alt-rockers who have seen viral internet fame with their song "No Good". These guys churn out catchy party anthems like it's their job, but they'll loudly let you know they make it happen during their normal workweek. Rounding out the bill are local legends HOME VISITOR, the innovators of Utica Freak Folk who sing songs about Simpson's characters and candy. No, that's not a joke. It's a spectacle to behold, so be there early so you don't miss it.
