2025 Friday Evening

At Holland House Gatherings, we believe connection is the heart of community.We’re Valerie and Bryan Holland — longtime Maryland residents and natural hosts who’ve been welcoming friends, neighbors, and loved ones into our home for over 27 years. Holland House Gatherings is a new chapter, but our passion for creating warm, welcoming spaces is anything but new.Through live music, seasonal celebrations, and intentional events, we offer more than entertainment — we offer moments of joy, belonging, and genuine connection.Our signature summer series, Friday Evening at Holland House, brings people together for backyard listening events with local musicians and a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere. The events are donation-based — come as you are, and give what you can to support the artists and keep the music going. They’re especially inviting to older adults, caregivers, and anyone looking for a place to feel at home.It’s casual, easy, and rooted in community. Think flip-flops, soft lighting, good music, and seats waiting for you.Whether you come with friends or on your own, you’ll leave feeling seen, welcomed, and part of something special — because you don’t have to know anyone to feel like you belong here.
