About our Drive-In Music Fest
It’s safe to say 2020 has not been the year that any of us expected it to be. Our schools have moved into the living room. Our work has moved to the home office. Our dishes have been piling so high that they’re starting to get in the way of the ceiling fan. In a time where so much feels lost and unsure, there’s one thing that we could all use more of: Hope.
It is in that spirit that Melody of Hope has decided to uplift our friends near and far with our Encore Drive-In music festival!
2 ways to watch!
In Person
Encore will be an exciting event designed to allow a socially-distanced, in-person concert experience showcasing some of DFW’s finest hand-picked talent.
Watch the show live
For those unable to join live, there will be a high-quality stream of the event, rich with opportunity to bring bands, brands, and fans closer than ever before.
Through high value entertainment and engagement, Melody of Hope will be working to expand the MOH community in order to make as large of an impact for our partner businesses and non-profits as possible. Thanks to our amazing partnership with Verona Villa, we’re geared to have an amazing night of music and fun, bolstered by local food trucks and vendors that will not be forgotten any time soon!
Come join us November 6th as we band together in song and celebration to remind the world that Hope starts at home.

Restroom facilities Everyone must wear a mask and must maintain a social distance of no less than 6 feet while traveling to and from the restroom facilities. Staff will sanitize door handles after each use and each restroom on a regular basis.
