Step into a serene, candlelit space for an intimate evening of music designed to inspire calm, reflection, and quiet renewal. Candlelight Reflections features the delicate voice of the flute paired with the grounding resonance of the marimba, creating a soothing soundscape that invites you to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the present moment.

Stop by the holiday market, where there will be a festive mix of vendors offering holiday delights—from fresh produce to artisan treasures, all proudly sourced from WA. Enjoy merry activities, live tunes, and community cheer.
