This informal gathering will be at Seven C Music in St. Petersburg, FL - a place where Elana performed her original songs. Musicians, please feel free to perform in tribute to our girl - the event will be “open mic” style. We will also be playing Elana’s music throughout the event on a projected video.

Light refreshments will be provided and beer or wine will be available for purchase.
All who loved Elana are welcome. Please note that part of this venue is a guitar shop, so any children will need to be supervised as there are delicate items on display.

Event Program
Please join us for an afternoon of music and love to celebrate Elana Gilbert’s life and legacy in her hometown of Woodstock, Vermont. While Elana spent the last years of her adult life in Florida, she grew up in Vermont and always considered this area to be her true “home.” This informal gathering will be at The Little Theater in downtown Woodstock - a place she grew up dancing and performing at as a child. Musicians, please feel free to perform in tribute to our girl - the event will be “open mic” style. We will also be playing Elana’s music throughout the event on a projected video. If you have video or photos of Elana, please email Merielread@gmail.com so we can include them.
Light refreshments will be provided. All who loved Elana are welcome.
