About This Event
Join us and The 19th Street Band for DEFHR's 2026 Benefit Concert and help us celebrate the Year of the Horse!
Our not-to-be-missed annual music event is back! We're welcoming The 19th Street Band and a special guest opening band to Maryland's premier horse farm for an evening of live music, food, drinks, and fun—all in support of the horses.
Set against the beautiful backdrop of our Woodbine, Maryland farm, guests will enjoy an evening on the front lawn of our Arts & Education Pavilion, affectionately known as "The Hitching Post." With popular food trucks, our Hops for Horses Beer Garden, lawn games, farm tours, and opportunities to meet our rescue horses, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
As a sponsor, your business will be part of an unforgettable community event while helping provide critical funding for DEFHR's life-saving work. It's the perfect opportunity to connect your brand with a passionate community of horse lovers and supporters while making a meaningful difference for horses in need.

About the Band
The 19th Street Band is characterized by high-energy performances and strong vocal harmonies, bringing together Americana, country, and rock with a taste of punk. They ignite audiences with their passion for music, magnetic presence, and enthusiasm. Bridging musical traditions from bluegrass and roots music from Ireland to Appalachia, their eclectic gypsy-rock spirit leaps from the stage and engages the crowd.
