Elisa Thorn Trio

By Donation

2pm, Sunshine Coast, BC

"Join us for a Concert Series on three Sundays this summer (July 12, July 19 and August 2) in support of the expansion and connection of Elphinstone’s protected forest areas above xwesam / Stelk’aya (Roberts Creek). The Concerts take place at the end of the Health Trail Forest Trailhead #1 this time (located off the Roberts-Flume Forest Service Road).

We gather at 2pm at the trailhead for a welcome and then hike for 20 minutes to the concert spot. Allow about 3 hours for the experience.

Admission is by donation and registration is not required. Participation is at your own risk. Each performance will be about 45 to 50 minutes long and takes place within a 15 to 20-minute slightly uphill hike along a well-maintained forest trail home to about 100 old growth trees.
