Weekend Planner: August 7th, 2020


We know things are weird right now, and you might not even be working with everything going on, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't have a chance to enjoy the weekend! Life goes on, and having a little fun and/or some relaxation is still necessary for your mental health. So check out these (safely social distanced) events you can participate in this weekend!

Click on any of the event titles for a link to the event.

Phil's Camino is the story of free spirit Phil, a man living with Stage 4 Cancer and dreaming of walking the 500-mile spiritual pilgrimage Camino de Santiago across Spain. Unable to make the trip, he does the next best thing: he builds a Camino behind his house on Vashon Island, starts to walk, and traces his progress on a map.


Watch anytime between now and Friday, August 7. Then join us that night for a live discussion and Q&A with Phil and the filmmaker, Annie O'Neill.


This is a free event but registration is required; donations are always welcome.


All proceeds benefit Cancer Support Community (www.cancersupport.net).

Although the tasting bar will not be available for walk-ups, we do have a large number of outside tables available for groups of up to 6 people maximum (in accordance with the state guidelines).


Food Will Be Available for Purchase: We've partnered with our chef, Sarun Kao who provides food for our events, to provide a full food menu along with our wine tasting menu.

The Stern Grove free outdoor music festival was initially scheduled to take place on Sundays from June 14 through August 16, 2020. It is the first time in the Festival’s long history that it has been canceled.

This summer, in place of canceled performances, the Festival is creating Best of the Fest, a virtual video series featuring highlights from the Festival’s vast library of concert footage from the past 13 years.

Hosted by TV and radio personality and seasoned emcee Liam Mayclem, Sheila E. (2012), Pink Martini (2013), The Doobie Brothers (2015), and George Clinton (2016) are among the musicians to be included in the weekly concerts.


Best of the Fest will also feature artist interviews, scenic footage of the Grove, and special guests. It will be posted on the Festival’s website, YouTube channel, and Facebook page every Sunday from June 14 through Sunday, August 16.

Beginning Sunday, May 31, visit sterngrove.org for each Sunday’s lineup.

In addition to Best of the Fest, the Festival will be offering a virtual arts education program utilizing many of the teaching artists who would have participated this summer. Classes in music-making and dance will be offered online on the Festival’s YouTube and Facebook channels.
