An impromptu "Community Chorus" invites vocalists and those who just love to sing to come together on celebration day and perform live on the mainstage under the direction of noted choral director Eric Lane Barnes of Seattle Men's and Women's Choruses. He will rehearse volunteer singers at 2 p.m. and lead them in performance at 3:30 p.m.
There will also be roving talent acts throughout the lobbies and also on stage and a special aerialist performance by SANCA at the North Kreielsheimer Promenade.
