CALENDAR Although the Summer Solstice has come and gone, it’s still not too late to jump-start the season right. On Saturday, June 24, Sunshine Sessions Music and Arts Festival is coming to Alton Baker Park. Along with music and arts, Sunshine Sessions also offers interactive educational seminars, yoga and activities for kids. There will also be great local food and drink options including Sizzle Pie and Hop Valley Brewing, which are both sponsoring the event. If you’re trying to make the most of the “art” part of the festival, there will be live muraling and open community painting as well as an art walk. As for music, there will be 10 musical guests throughout the day ranging from Eugene artists Evergreen and Casual Cowboy to artists from Cali- fornia and Colorado. You can take pride in knowing you’re not just enjoying art and music — you’re supporting it be- cause the group that’s putting together the festival, Day 1 Collective, is working with 4J school district to ensure that $2 from every purchased ticket will go toward supporting local music education programs, according to the Sunshine Sessions Facebook event page. As for what to bring, the festival page suggests sunscreen, sunglasses, comfy clothes, a yoga mat (if you’re planning on participating in any of the yoga offerings), blankets to lounge on, and, of course, “good vibes.” Sunshine Sessions Music and Arts Festival is 1 to 11 pm on Saturday, June 24, at Alton Baker Park. Kids and teens under 18 must be admitted with a parent or legal guardian, kids 12 and under, also with a parent or legal guardian, get in for free. Tickets are $30.
