The Tall Ships, historic high-masted replicas from the turn of the century, are scheduled to return to Crescent City next weekend with planned events April 19–28.

During the visit, visitors can take a walk-on tour of the impressive ships, hit the sea for an evening sail, or even participate in a Battle Sail, an imitation of a 18th century naval skirmish using real cannons and gunpowder.

To welcome the beloved boats, the port is holding a two-day Crescent City Harbor Tall Ships Festival, featuring live music all weekend and local food, art and crafts vendors.

The Tall Ships festival will be Saturday, April 20, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, April 21, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., in the lot adjacent to where the Tall Ships will be docked on the Citizens Dock Road side of the inner boat basin.

Performers include Three for the Road; BorderCoast; Jefferson State Boondock Band; Hither, Thither and Yon; and Warren Barr.

Walk-on tours are a chance to visit the vessels at the dock and meet the crews wearing period costumes. Reservations are not required, and admission is by donation.

Battle Sails will feature a mock cannon battle with real explosions and 18th-century naval maneuvers. Only one ship will be declared victor. Cost is $60 for adults, $50 for students, seniors and active military, and $40 for children 12 and under.

Evening sails and Adventure Sails offer folks a chance to raise a sail, sing a sea shanty, and take the helm of a real tall ship. Tickets are $39 for all ages, except on April 29, they cost $29.

Tickets for all excursions are available online at www.historicalseaport.org or by calling 800-200-5239.

Jacksonville summer concert lineup set

Britt Festivals has announced its summer lineup of outdoor concerts.

The lineup includes pop singer Cyndi Lauper, country singer Billy Currington, reggae artists Rebelution and Matisyahu, the  Steve Miller Band, indie artists Tegan and Sara, comedian Dennis Miller, “American Idol” winner Scotty McCreery, contemporary Christian artists Amy Grant and Brandon Heath, gospel/R&B performer Mavis Staples, singer/songwriter John Hiatt and guitarist Rodrigo y Gabriela.

Britt Festivals is a member-supported non-profit organization and the Pacific Northwest’s oldest outdoor music and performing arts festival. Set amid ponderosa pines and native madrones, the vast hillside estate of Gold Rush-era pioneer Peter Britt forms a natural amphitheater where artists perform every summer. 

“We are once again excited about the ‘sound of summer,’ on the Britt hill —a place where you can bring your picnic, meet up with your family and friends, and have a memorable time,” says Britt Executive Director Donna Briggs. “We’ve got stars on the stage and stars in the sky.  I can’t think of a better way to start the summer than a night out with Cyndi Lauper.”

More highlights of the 2013 season include ukulele player Jake Shimabukuro, swing favorites Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, country queen Martina McBride, folk singer John Prine, Britt favorite Michael Franti, rockabilly artist Chris Isaak and Oregon’s own Pink Martini with singer Storm Large. A full season lineup is available at www.brittfest.org.

The season kicks off with the annual “Taste of Summer” celebration in Jacksonville, on Saturday, June 8. The city-wide celebration will be in downtown Jacksonville and feature a variety of activities including live music, food, street performers, the artists of Art Presence, a wine walk, a beer garden, children’s activities, classic car displays and hot air balloon rides.

Britt’s summer season will include a “Best of Britt” benefit Thursday, July 18. The evening will include music, food by local restaurants, wine from 25 wineries of the Southern Oregon Wine Association, beer from Western Beverage, and a returning headline performance by boogie woogie jazz pianist Michael Kaeshammer. Proceeds from the evening will benefit Britt’s education programs.

Around Del Norte: Wildflower show preparations under way

Rick Bennett was attending a wildflower show in Humboldt County a few years ago when it occurred to him that “we’ve got a lot of nice wildflowers up here. We ought to get our own going.”

The result is the Ruby Van Deventer Wildflower Show, which will be held for the sixth time May 10–11 at the Del Norte County Fairgrounds from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. Admission is free.

“There’s people here that really like wildflowers,” said Bennett. “We do it for the educational experience, mostly.”

This year’s early spring conditions mean more wildflowers than ever will be on display, including trilliums, irises and lilies. The lupine is this year’s theme flower, and a series of wildflower walks will again be held in conjunction with the show.

The popular carnivorous plant master, Harold Tryon, will again be on hand. Tryon “really wows the kids” with his meat-eating plants, Bennett said.

There will also be Native American experts in medicinal, edible and utilitarian plants. All the usual attractions will be at the show, including Carol Schach’s outstanding photos.

The show’s opening day traditionally attracts busloads of third-graders from nine schools, and this year will be no exception. Each student gets a coloring book and a packet of seeds, and the kids also get to visit the railroad car and old schoolhouse at the fairgrounds.
