Just in case of a rainy day ☔️

Dusk Dances rarely cancels a show in advance of the start time due to inclement weather. All of our artists and volunteers are present at the park (even if it’s pouring), and should the clouds part, the sun start to shine, and it’s safe to perform, they are ready to go.

An announcement is generally made at the park between 7:00pm and 7:30pm if the show has been cancelled. Any cancellation will be announced on Dusk Dances social media, after the announcement in the park.

Fingers crossed for a sunny season ☀️ taken in Withrow Park by @duskdances

💛Anhelo💛

how strange
to grow older
and become more yourself
while becoming less familiar
with who you were

longing for our past selves
reaching for who we once were
who our families once were
what home once was
knowing we can never return to the past

so we shed the layers
another version of ourselves left behind
until there is nothing left
but the person underneath

We were so grateful to welcome @mal_kowski to our festival for an incredible ASL rock concert that brought so much energy, connection, and joy. While the run was short, the impact was unforgettable and we’re so thankful to have shared this experience with everyone who joined us.
