SUMMARY:Saturday Harbour @ Theatre Hill
DESCRIPTION:Saturday afternoon is packed with exciting events you won’t want to miss! Join Natasha Blackwood with Terry Campbell & Humberto Piccoli\, Baraka and WEKU at Theatre Hill. \n1:30pm Natasha Blackwood with Terry Campbell and Humberto Piccoli\n2:45pm Baraka\n4:00pm WEKU \nBox Office (709) 753-4900\nTickets from $17.25\nPrices shown include HST. $1.15 Capital Renewal Fee & $2.30 transaction fee is added at checkout. \n\nAbout the Artists \nNatasha Blackwood\nNatasha Blackwood is a jazz-adjacent songwriter and saxophonist from Stephenville\, Newfoundland. Her performances have been described as refreshing\, thought-provoking\, humble\, and playful all at once. Her voice\, quiet yet confident\, flits effortlessly through complex music with ease\, tenderness and sass. Ian Lomax (The Jazz Journal\, UK) described her music as “…a delight. Fun and entertaining at one level\, but worth a deeper dive into the lyrics to explore exactly where she is coming from… a rare talent”. Her 2024 album “Love Songs for Good Machines” received international critical acclaim and radio play\, as well as multiple nominations for East Coast Music Awards\, and a win for MusicNL’s Jazz Artist of the Year in 2025. For Harbour Jazz and Blues Festival\, Natasha will share original songs\, and jazz standards\, joined by Humberto Piccoli on guitar\, and Terry Campbell on trumpet. \nBaraka\nBaraka is one of Newfoundland and Labrador’s brightest emerging talents — a soulful singer-songwriter with a rare gift for songs that get under your skin and stay there. He has shared stages with some of the province’s finest artists and earned national attention on CBC’s East Coast Music Hour.

SUMMARY:Beach Boil Up
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a coastal beach boil-up experience along the Irish Loop – where fresh Newfoundland seafood is prepared and enjoyed right at the ocean’s edge. \nWe’ll meet at a scenic\, easy-access beach where the Atlantic stretches out before you. Your guide will share local stories\, seasonal insights\, and the connection between foraging\, food\, and coastal life in Newfoundland. \nFrom there\, we settle into a beachside “boil-up”\, preparing and enjoying food together in a relaxed\, welcoming setting. When conditions allow\, a shoreline fire adds warmth and tradition to the experience. When it doesn’t\, the gathering continues seamlessly – centered on great food\, coastal views\, and meaningful connection. \nA simple\, memorable way to experience Newfoundland’s food\, landscape\, and culture – all in one place. \nMondays 4:30-7:00pm | Ease into the evening with a coastal gathering shaped by salt air\, warm food\, and good company. As the day winds down\, settle by the ocean’s edge and take in a quieter\, slower side of Newfoundland. \n2.5 hours\nGroup size: 8 minimum | 20 maximum\nUneven\, rocky terrain\nIncludes: Seafood boil-up\, wild-inspired NL dessert\, foraged beverage\nSeasonal outdoor cooking\, stories\, tradition\nInvestment: $120 per person
