Rhythm & Blooms

An annual music fundraiser supporting wildflowers on the Northaven Trail

Rhythm & Blooms is Friends of Northaven Trail’s signature spring music event—an evening for adults to gather, celebrate the trail, and directly support our wildflower and native planting program.

Each year, Rhythm & Blooms brings together live local music, great food and drinks, and the people who care deeply about the Northaven Trail. Proceeds help us plant, maintain, and expand native wildflowers that make the trail healthier, more beautiful, and more welcoming for everyone.


Why Rhythm & Blooms Exists

The Northaven Trail is more than pavement—it’s a growing green corridor. Our wildflower program improves:

  • 🌼 Pollinator habitat for bees, butterflies, and birds

  • 🌿 Trail beauty through seasonal color and native landscapes

  • 💚 Community pride in a shared public space

  • 🌎 Environmental resilience using native plants that thrive in North Texas

Rhythm & Blooms was created as a fun, social way for adults to support this work—combining live music, conversation, and giving back in one memorable night.


What to Expect

  • 🎶 Live music from local bands

  • 🍴 Appetizers and refreshments (cash bar available)

  • 👟 Fellow trail lovers—neighbors, walkers, cyclists, and supporters

  • 🌸 A direct impact on wildflowers along the Northaven Trail

Each year features a different band and celebrates new milestones on the trail.
