Heights Aid: A Night of Music for the Neighborhood

Saturday April 4th

Join us for a night where the amps are loud, the plates are full, and the purpose is real.

Heights Aid is bringing together four incredible bands for a community benefit supporting Columbia Heights residents impacted by Metro Surge. This is our way of showing up for our neighbors—with music, food, and a whole lot of heart.

🗓 Saturday, April 4 ⏰ 4:00 PM – 9:00 PM 💛 Suggested $10 donation at entry

🎸 Live Music From: Dean, Mick, & Carla Plumstar Purgatory Creek TW & The Dustbowl Daisies

🥔 Loaded Baked Potatoes for a Cause Come hungry—because for every loaded baked potato sold, Rail Werks Brewing Depot donate $5 to support those affected. Yes, it’s delicious. Yes, it helps your community.

🛍 Local Crafters & Handcrafted Goods

Browse and shop from local makers offering unique, handmade items—another great way to support small and local.

Every potato ordered, every purchase made, and every dollar raised goes directly toward helping neighbors navigate the impacts of Metro Surge.

Grab your friends, stay for the music, and be part of something bigger than a typical night out.

We hope to see you there.
