One Last Summer at Tarara

The Final Encore Season Kicks Off on Saturday, May 23 with So Fetch!

Dear Tarara Family,

Well… this is the email we always knew would come someday, but still hoped we could somehow avoid.

After 27 years of music, memories, dancing, picnics, parking field adventures, wine glasses, glow sticks, weather watching, singing along loudly, and pretending we still know every word to every song, the 2026 Tarara Summer Concert Series presented by Bruster’s Real Ice Cream and the Bow Tie Fund will be our Final Encore season.

Yes, you read that right.

This will be our final season.

And while that makes us incredibly sentimental, we are not planning a sad, slow goodbye. That has never really been Tarara’s style. We are planning one last big, joyful, music-filled summer beside Shadow Lake — the kind of summer that makes you say, “We should have done this more often.”

So, let’s do it more often.

Our Final Encore season begins Saturday, May 23 at 6:00p.m. with So Fetch! - The DMV’s Ultimate ‘00s Dance Party. Gates open at 5:00p.m.

Since 1999, Tarara has been more than a concert series. It has been first dates, birthday parties, family nights, company outings, reunions, girls’ nights, guys’ nights, anniversary celebrations, and the occasional “I came for one concert and somehow ended up at five more” situation.

It has been a place where people danced like nobody was watching — even though, let’s be honest, everyone was watching and cheering them on.

It has been a place where the sunset over Shadow Lake hits just right, the band plays the song you forgot you loved, and suddenly the whole crowd feels like one big family.

And that family is you.

You made Tarara what it became.

Now, we need you for one final season.

Tickets are on sale now.

Concert Club Passes are available now.

Private Tents are available now.

And because this is the Final Encore season, we strongly encourage you not to wait.

Some nights may sell quickly. Private Tents are limited. Concert Club Passes are the best way to make sure you are part of the full season.

So gather your people. Text the group chat. Call the friends who always say, “We should go this year.” Tell them this is the year.

Because it really is.

Let’s fill the field. Let’s sing too loudly. Let’s dance badly and proudly. Let’s take too many pictures. Let’s tell the stories. Let’s make new memories.

Let’s give Tarara the sendoff it deserves.

One last summer. One final encore. Let’s make every Saturday count.

Who’s Ready To Rock The Vine?!
