I‑Park invites visitors of all ages to reconnect with nature and explore its expansive grounds at our final Open Trails +&nbsp;Music Day of the season. Taking place on November 7 from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm, the event will feature a range of activities including live music from the HouseBand at School of Rock Madison, a guided hike, and a special visit from our friends at Epoch Arts.
Wander at your own pace through over 40 environmental artworks nestled in I-Park’s meadows, woodlands, and waterways. Most trails are gentle and well‑marked, offering an easygoing experience for both casual walkers and day‑long explorers. Explore at your will, or participate in a variety of planned activities.
• From 9:30am-12:30pm, Epoch Arts will be onsite, hosting an interactive “found-art” station where visitors of all ages can create a unique art piece. Epoch Arts is a nonprofit organization based in East Hampton, CT, with a mission to serve youth and the community through the arts. Their goal is to inspire creativity in youth so they can engage in and build a more empathetic, creative and connected community. Visit their table at Open Trails to join in a craft and learn more about how to get involved in their ongoing programs.
• From 10:00am-12:30pm: A guided hiking party will depart at 10am. This ~2 hour excursion will lead visitors to view artworks along some of I-Park’s lesser-ventured paths- a special opportunity to learn about the artists and their sculptures from a knowledgeable I-Park guide. Please register in advance for this activity.
• From 12:30pm-2:30pm: The Common Area comes alive as the HouseBand delivers a dynamic mix of hits from the 60s through today. Settle in and enjoy an energizing afternoon, with songs performed by the most advanced musicians at School of Rock Madison. 
This is a free, family‑friendly event, open to all who wish to explore, create, and be inspired by art and nature. <a href="https://www.i-park.org/event/november-open-trails-music/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Advance reservations are recommended for a quick easy check-in</a>, though walk‑ins may register at the welcome table upon arrival. A suggested donation of $10 per adult supports the ongoing maintenance of I‑Park’s trails and gardens.
Open Trails + Music is being funded in part through grants from the Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation and Community Foundation of Middlesex County.
