Get ready to dance! African, Caribbean, funk, reggae, and Latin grooves collide with traditional New England old-time and Celtic fiddle in the genre-defying sound of Gaslight Tinkers. Since 2012, I-Shea, Clara, Garrett, Elie, and Peter have brought their joyous, high-energy performances to clubs, dances, and festivals across the U.S. and Caribbean, blending global rhythms with a core of melody, song, and boundless positive energy. The Valley Advocate calls their music “fizzes and pops with unexpected textures and turns”—expect surprises, elation, and exuberant musicianship.

Opening the evening is Luke Concannon, former lead singer of UK No.1 chart act Nizlopi (The JCB Song), now making waves as a solo artist. His 2022 album Ecstatic Bird in the Burning debuted at No.12 on both the UK and US folk charts, showcasing the playful, heartfelt music he’s been creating since childhood.

A night of irresistible rhythms, lively melodies, and unforgettable grooves—don’t miss it!

This exploration walk is perfect for nature lovers of all ages! We will learn about woodland pools and the animals who call these places home. These woodland pools, also called vernal pools, are seasonal pools of water that provide habitat for distinctive plants and animals, like spring peepers, wood frogs, and salamanders.

This time of year is ideal for spotting amphibians as they migrate from their wintering spots and journey to vernal pools to find mates.
