As a way of celebrating ‘60 years of Conservation’ in 2024 Cataraqui Conservation is presenting a series of four monthly live music events on the front lawn outside the Outdoor Centre at Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation Area, as a way to bring together lovers of nature and live music for some fun and foster a sense of community.
Featuring local musicians/songwriters/performers, the shows are scheduled to take place from 1 to 4 p.m. on the third Sundays of each month, from June through to September. Two artists/acts per day will entertain audiences amidst the natural splendor of the conservation property, located at 1641 Perth Road, just north of Highway 401.
The concerts are part of the 60th Anniversary celebration of Cataraqui Conservation and are our way of bringing together regular supporters and visitors to our properties with folks who appreciate live music. The former have the chance to hear some artists they may not otherwise have encountered, while the music lovers get the opportunity to visit a lush, vibrant natural space, mere minutes from downtown Kingston.
The second show takes place Sunday, July 21 and will have a decidedly rustic and alt-country vibe as Emilie Steele (of Emilie Steele and the Deal https://www.emiliesteelethedeal.com/ will be featured alongside the ‘notorious’ country and western outlaw, Clem Chesterfield (aka Tim Sheffield) https://www.clemchesterfield.com/. Homespun tales of loss and longing will make you cry one moment, while upbeat rhythms and songs of frolicking and adventure will have you up dancing the next!
Tickets are $20 each (plus tax) and are available at https://cataraquiconservation.ca/.../summer-concert... and at the Outdoor Centre during regular business hours. Concert patrons are encouraged to bring their own chairs or blankets and to use sunscreen. In the event of inclement weather, the shows will be cancelled, with notice given 48 hours before showtime on our website and all social media platforms.
For physical events that happen at a specific time. For example a concert, or dance performance. If there are multiple shows, you can still duplicate your event to cover them all.
