Persephone Beer Farm: Fibre Farm Launch!

Please join the Sunshine Coast Arts Council to celebrate the launch of the Sunshine Coast’s newest fibre arts and culture hub: Fibre Farm an Indigenous-led, disability justice centered, growing and gathering space! Art and fibre demos, storytelling, music, and a chance to participate in invasive species removal as you check-out the new accessible pathways, garden bed, fire pit, art studio, and deck.

It has taken a village to get this project off the ground, with funding from the Island Coastal Economic Trust, the BC Arts Council, alongside work from the incredible team at the SCAC and Persephone, and the generosity of local businesses like Salish Soils and Gibsons Building Supply, and the supportive community buzzing around this project- we couldn’t have done it without you! Please come out and celebrate the work that has been done, and the work that has just begun!

Gibsons Public Market: Demo & Dine with Chef Heidi

Enjoy a night of Tropical Tiki Adventure with Chef Heidi, aka Gidget.

Chef Heidi Murphy—co-owner of The Shameful Tiki Room and founder of El Segundo—invites guests to a Demo & Dine that dives headfirst into the era of old-school tiki. Expect bamboo bar energy. Layered flavours. Big garnishes. Dim lights. Storytelling through food. This evening showcases bold, nostalgic, flavour-forward bites inspired by the golden era of tiki, crafted with fresh ingredients from Fong’s Market and executed with chef-level precision.

Guests will experience:
• Tiki-inspired appetizers with depth, spice, and just enough indulgence
• Rum-driven cocktails featuring dramatic garnish techniques
• Hosting tips to create a personal tropical hideaway
• Styling inspiration that leans retro — not tacky

This is escapism done right. A little theatrical. A little cheeky. Fully intentional.

For anyone who has ever wanted to host something that feels more like a secret club than a summer BBQ, this is the night.

Come hungry. Come curious. Let Gidget handle the rest.

Tickets are $75 plus tax and include a welcome drink and dinner. Additional drinks will be available for purchase.

Limited seats available—reserve early to secure your spot!

TIME: 5:30 – 7:30 pm
