* Please note the change of venue and time from our previous singalongs

Avast, ye saucy sailors! Come brave the perilous waters of Point Reyes and join us for a rollicking good time at Point Reyes National Seashore's Sea Chantey Sing-along on Saturday, November 9th from *3:00 pm - 4:30 pm at the Bear Valley Visitor Center's auditorium*.

Upcoming dates are as follows
- Saturday, November 9, 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm, at the Bear Valley Visitor Center
- Saturday, December 14, 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm, at the Bear Valley Visitor Center

Please bring your arsenal of sea chanteys, any musical instruments you'd like, and a willingness to laugh a lot!

It's so much fun when audience members lead shanties for the rest of us to join in on the chorus, and leading a song is encouraged!

If you'd like to find a song (or songs) to share, I highly recommend setting one of your online music services to a sea chantey radio station and hear what's out there! Practice lyrics! Teach the chorus to our audience at the singalong! Our format is informal, mellow, and supportive, so if you've been wanting to push your comfort edge and lead a song, this is a perfect low-pressure opportunity. If you'd rather just singalong with the chantey choruses, that's fine too. We always have a great time no matter what.

This free event is for chantey singers of all levels.

Due to the nature of sea chanteys, there may be lyrics that are not appropriate for children.

Reservations not required. To be added to the notification email list for future singalong dates, please email fiona_o'kelly@nps.gov
