The purpose of these live sessions is to bring the community together in a fun and creative way while connecting virtually to show our love and support for not only each other, but our local small business owners and the like! We truly believe that standing together, talking about our struggles, and communicating where we could use some help (while adding some fun in between) is one small step towards recovery.

However, due to restrictions in place and the uncertainty of future public events, this year’s season will be different.

Watch below to listen to our conversation with the talented Sylvie Bouchard, Dusk Dances Festival Director. We discuss how she is coping in the current landscape and what we can do to help support this beautiful event in our community.
