Rock the Ribbon Breast Cancer Benefit Concert at Echo Fields in Westtown, NY on October 3 Supports the Yarosz Family

This one is just over the state line, but it is all heart and all community. On Saturday, October 3, 2026, Echo Fields in Westtown, NY hosts Rock the Ribbon, a breast cancer benefit concert in support of Jacqueline Yarosz, a wife, mother and first grade teacher who is battling triple negative breast cancer. Proceeds benefit the Yarosz family.

Westtown sits in Orange County, NY, just north of the New Jersey border, so it is an easy drive from Wantage, Sussex Borough, Montague and Vernon. Our team wanted to share it with Sussex County because this is exactly the kind of day where neighbors on both sides of the line show up for one another.

What to expect

The day runs from late morning into the evening with rock and roll music all day, food and adult beverages, market vendors, big raffles, face painting, pumpkin picking and hayrides. That is a full fall Saturday for the whole family, and every ticket, raffle and donation goes toward helping a local family through a hard stretch.

Echo Fields is a working farm and live music venue known for farm to table food, a full bar and seasonal festivals, so it is a fitting spot for a community day like this one, right in the heart of pumpkin season.

Why it matters

The organizers describe Jacqueline as a local young mom and school teacher fighting with incredible strength. October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which makes this the right weekend to wear some pink, bring the kids and show a neighbor she is not doing this alone.
