Kickoff 2 Summer

Join us on Friday, June 27th for an afternoon of flowers, music, and summer fun at The Dashery!
Create your own make-and-take Swanky Floral arrangement while enjoying live music from local Alexandria musician Ben Stoeck.
Ben is a talented guitarist, songwriter, and one-man band known for blending fingerpicking guitar, harmonica, vocals, and stomp-and-clap rhythms into an unforgettable performance. His versatile setlist mixes today’s hits, folk and jazz influences, one-hit wonders, and original music. Ben has opened for acts including Robb Justice and The Fabulous Armadillos, and his original music was recently featured on Prairie Musicians 2026.
Gather your friends, enjoy a creative floral experience, and celebrate the start of summer with great music and great company.
