Hike to a Concert

The Sewanee Summer Music Festival will be hosting a special performance at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, July 3, at the new golf course in Sewanee. The concert will be held next to the number five green, better known as The Edge, which is named for its distinct drop-off and dramatic views off the bluff behind the green.
A hike, led by the Sewanee Outing Program, will begin at 4 p.m. and traverse the University of the South hiking trails, ending directly at The Edge for concert time. A bike ride, led by Woody Deutsch from Woody’s Bicycles, will start at 4 p.m. and will take participants around the Sewanee campus to key highlights, including the Cross, Green’s View, the Chapel of the Apostles and others, before ending at the golf course. Bike rentals are $15 if you cannot bring your own. For both the hike and the bike ride, meet at The Course in Sewanee.

People attending the concert are encouraged to bring picnic items and blankets. This concert event is free and open to the public. The event is sponsored by the Monteagle Inn & Retreat Center.
