An Evening for All Souls: A Gathering of Song and Spirit
About this Event
Join us at Kanuga on Sunday, November 1st, 2026 for a unique evening of remembrance, healing, and song. Together we will honor those who have died through the power of music and community.
The evening will feature Roots Grown Deep, featuring the CCLD One Voice Choir.
Before the concert, all are invited to a community workshop at 4:00 p.m. to learn a song that will be sung together as luminaria are released across Kanuga Lake — a moving ritual of light, memory, and hope.
Participants will be invited to create their own personal luminaria before the concert has begun from 5:00p until 6:00p.
A dinner of white chicken chili and cornbread will be served with lemonade and ice tea. A cash bar will also be available.
Come be part of this beautiful gathering of voices and spirits as we remember, sing, and heal together.
