Whoo! Our 5th Lost Gospel show is upon us, just in time to kick off the summer season. This Sunday, June 7th will be a special one! Though it's been in the news quite a bit lately, many Rose City residents are unaware that we've had a magical castle in our midst. Sitting atop a hill near the zoo on Canterbury Lane is Canterbury Castle, a real live actual castle with two red doors and a lot of stories (both literal and figurative :). Sadly the castle - which has stood there since around 1930 - is in the process of being torn down. So this Sunday, we'll be giving it its storybook ending!
We will meet at the Washington Park tennis courts. At 1:30pm we will then depart to the castle. Don't be late for this very important date! Just as Hansel and Gretel had a trail of bread crumbs, we'll have a path of arrows to follow as we ascend - all while being read a fairytale!
At 2pm after we arrive, local sextet Loch Lomond will perform a lush acoustic set at the castle ruins to give the castle the send-off it deserves.
Come be a part of the magic! Invite and bring any and all!

You can walk, bike, bus or drive to Washington Park.
Ways to reach Washington Park by bus:
The tennis courts are accessible by Trimet - either by taking the 63 directly there or taking the 20 and getting off at MacLeay, then walking up the hill on the SW side of Burnside.
