In addition to world class live music, Live from the Rock hosts other activities throughout festival weekend. Check your program book to find out more about all the extras the weekend has to offer.
Get a brief look at these activities below.
Campfire Jams
After the Festival Stage closes for the night, campers are invited to join in the revelry out on the point (past the marina) at the nightly campfires. Bring your enthusiasm, your voice, an instrument and a friend. The campfire is a magical way to experience music up close and personal. There are two separate campfires on the point; at the “Shush” campfire attendees are asked to honour the music and fellow players by listening quietly and respecting the designated campfire host each night. The “Non-shush” campfire provides a more casual atmosphere for attendees to socialize while music is being played. Take your pick or go back and forth between the two. Enjoy!
Acoustic Song Circle
Grab your instrument and join the late afternoon Acoustic Song Circles held on the grassy area behind Main Gate. This is another opportunity to participate in song sharing and music creation with other festival goers as well as performers. Bring a chair, an instrument and some of your favourite tunes.
Friday & Saturday – 4:15 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Boreal Offerings Yoga
Join local Instructor Kathy Chappell of Boreal Offerings Yoga to greet each morning with Hatha yoga. Kathy has lived in Red Rock for 30 years and is a long time Live from the Rock volunteer. She trained at Sivananda Bahamas Ashram in 2018 and Your Yoga Flow in Canada in 2020.
Kathy will lead three one-hour sessions in the Lakeside Activity Area:
10 – 11 am Friday, Aug. 8th
9 – 10 am Saturday, Aug. 9th
9 – 10 am Sunday Aug. 10th
Participants are encouraged to arrive a bit earlier for their first session, to complete a required waiver.
As well, Kathy is offering a special children’s yoga session outside the Family Zone tent:
1:00 – 2:00 pm Saturday, Aug. 9th
Guardians must sign a waiver for their children at the beginning of the session, and are welcome and encouraged to join in.
Please bring your own yoga mat, camping mat, blanket or something similar, so that you will be more comfortable. Participation is open to all ages and abilities, free of charge.
Songwriting Workshop
Participate in an original songwriting workshop to help create this year’s theme song. Join two festival musicians and your peers in developing a unique song connected to this year’s slogan as well as thoughts and emotions about your festival experience. Participants are invited to perform the final version at the closing ceremonies on Sunday.
Saturday – 3:15 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. – check your program for workshop location
Sunday – 3:15 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. on the Festival Stage
Parks Canada
Parks Canada staff may be on site providing education and information about our local and regional wildlife, ecosystems and environment, as well as holding family activities for folks of all ages throughout the weekend. Check your program for scheduled group activities!
