Accompanied by music from the Carnival Band and XR Rhythms, people will walk the circuit hand in hand.
When they return to the soccer field, they will be greeted by heart inspired crafts and activities from a variety of booths, a stage powered by VREC Solar featuring music from local musicians and singers such as Solidarity Notes and Jess Vaira, and Chakra Groove Flow Dance with Lindy Sisson will keep the energy going.
