Earth Day Celebration w/ Billy Jonas and Free Planet Radio

11:00 AM – Arrival and Lunch … Kanuga Lunch will be picnic/ food truck style with classic cookout offerings – burgers, hotdogs, chicken sandwiches, chicken strips, and a vegetarian option. Combinations include an entree, chips, cookie, and nonalcoholic drink. Cash bars will be available with wine and beer.

1:00 PM – 2:00 PM – Billy Jonas Family Show … Billy Jonas’ musical mission is to honor and empower the creativity, inherent intelligence, and desire to learn in young folks, as well as their elders; to inspire them, apart and together, to question and play—and to see these two things as inseparable pathways to joy. It’s a musical conversation, a sonic celebration, a splendiferous gathering of old and young because the ensemble is … EVERYONE. From beginning to end, participation is the name of the game.

2:00 PM – 3:30 PM – Activities … Canoeing, hiking, nature crafts, a guided Native Plant Walk, lawn games, and programming are offered by our instructors from Mountain Trail Outdoor School to get you exploring and learning about the natural world! No sign up required for activities.

3:30 PM – 5:00 PM – Free Planet Radio … Free Planet Radio is a dynamic and genre-defying band that blends elements of jazz, world music, and improvisation into a gorgeous and exciting musical experience. With rich and textured soundscapes, intricate rhythms, and virtuosic instrumentation, the band takes listeners on a captivating journey across cultural boundaries. Comprising renowned musicians River Guerguerian on percussion and Chris Rosser on piano and multi-instruments, Free Planet Radio’s performances are a fusion of musical exploration and improvisational brilliance that will wow you!
