The City and County of Broomfield, in partnership with Broomfield Council on the Arts and Humanities and Broomfield Crossing Rotary, invites teens and their families to attend the 11th Annual Broomstock event. Broomstock will take place from 11:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 27, 2010, at the Broomfield Community Commons Park. This event features live music, food, and activities.
Broomstock is a hybrid of Broomfield and Woodstock and was the brainchild of area high school students looking for a fun and safe way to celebrate the last day of school.
Local bands are always eager to participate in Broomstock and several years ago, The Fray performed at this community event. This year’s line up includes In Audika, Lacuna Drive, and Portrait of a Friend. Musical genres include alternative, pop, hip hop, rock, and hardcore.
Broomstock is funded in part by grants from the Broomfield Community Foundation Youth Advisory Committee and Broomfield County Tier III SCFD funds.
This year, Broomstock is partnering with the 1STBANK Center. OneRepublic will be performing May 27 at the 1STBANK Center at 8pm. General admission tickets are $30. Discount tickets of $25 will be available for Broomfield residents and are on sale at the Broomfield Community Center (303-464-5501) until May 24 at 5 pm. The tickets will also be available at the Broomfield Auditorium (720-887-2371) during box office hours which are Thursdays and Fridays 2-6pm.
The bassist for OneRepublic, Drew Brown, grew up in Broomfield and he and his brother performed at Broomstock when they were in high school.
In conjunction with Broomstock, local teen artists will display samples of their visual art work in the Broomfield Auditorium beginning May 7.
