Get ready to end your year on a high note, Binghamton families! We're celebrating two huge pieces of local news with one amazing, free event at Edwards Petting Farm!

Local children's music superstar Johnny Only is putting on a special, one-time-only performance to celebrate Farmer Jen's birthday and the release of a major children's music documentary that features him!


Catch Johnny Only on the Big Screen (and then LIVE!)

The biggest news this season is the release of the children's music documentary, "Happy and You Know It," directed by acclaimed filmmaker Penny Lane. The film is coming out on Christmas Day (December 25th) on HBO Max - and guess who's in it? Our very own Johnny Only!

He is featured alongside some of the biggest names in kids' entertainment, including Laurie Berkner, Casper BabyPants, The Wiggles, and Divinity Roxx! It's a huge honor for a local artist and a must-watch documentary for any family who loves kid-friendly music.
