Musician Kris Karr, of Fort Dodge, entertains the crowd during the Pocahontas Heritage Days celebration in July 2025. He will perform from 3 to 4:30 p.m. at Havenpalooza on June 19, followed by Aaron Shoemaker from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. and Spencer Suchan from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.

A variety of live music, food and fireworks will all add up to one thing on June 19 — Havenpalooza.

The afternoon and evening of entertainment on the grounds of Friendship Haven, 420 Kenyon Road, will provide hours of fun while raising money for the retirement community’s Good Samaritan Fund. That account exists to provide immediate assistance and vital support to all of the Friendship Haven residents.

Havenpalooza will begin at 3 p.m. and continue to 10 p.m., concluding with a fireworks show.

General admission tickets will cost $15, with tickets for kids ages 12 and under costing $5.

A limited number of VIP tickets costing $75 are also available. VIP ticket holders will have a designated viewing area, two free drink tickets, free soda and water, a snack bar, fans and reserved parking.
