In true Yachats fashion, the arrival of autumn will be heralded with a special, free performance by a bagpiper at Yachats State Park at 4 p.m. Wednesday.
All are welcome to not only enjoy piper Darroll Morehouse, but also to bring an acoustic instrument for a possible parade or jam after the performance.
Sponsored by Polly Plumb Productions, the event is part of a global, centuries-old tradition of observing the first day of fall. The equinox occurs when the sun lies directly above the Earth’s equator, which happens twice a year — in September and in March (spring equinox).
Because of the coronavirus pandemic, attendees are asked to wear masks and observe guidelines for social distancing.
Polly Plumb is a non-profit organization that produces arts and cultural programming in Yachats. It is currently conducting an online auction for the arts banners produced for the annual Yachats banner project. To view and bid on banners, visit the Polly Plumb website.
Plumb also produces the Yachats Celtic Musical Festival, which was canceled this year due to Covid-19 restrictions. An art quilt show is being planned for February.
