• Don’t Skip the Fire Scultpures
  Since 2009, the Silver Skate Festival has hosted a fire sculpture installation. This spellbinding spectacle of light serves as a grand finale to the Silver Skate Folk Trail stories. Fire Sculpture artists were asked to consider and reflect on the following statement to inspire their builds: “In our quest through life we all occasionally face a battle with darkness. Sometimes we become lost in the dark. Am I good enough? Can I conquer my fear of failure? This journey from darkness to light asks how we can regain our voice, to sing once again.” Join for the BURN at 7:45pm on the day of each build to celebrate renewal and the release of thoughts that make us sad or any fear or regret that chases love from our hearts.
