Opening Ceremonies will be our only in person event occurring in multiple parks including Creekside Park, Strathcona Park, Hadden Park, and Trout Lake Park. Each park will hold intimate circles; bringing together a few audience members and artists to explore the importance of land based art, justice and existence.

Please register for a circle at one of our four locations, by selecting that parks ticket. We recommend you sign up to a park that is close to you or that you have a relationship with. It will be a surprise which artists are at what park! Each location has space for 50 audience members, audience will be seated with physical distance between each person, or group to ensure health safety.
