Switch off your lights and join us for Earth Hour Unplugged in Christchurch’s Cathedral Square from 6pm – 10pm on Saturday 28 March 2009.

We have an exceptional line-up of local musicians; all passionate about the cause and ready to entertain you with four hours of continuous music. So gather your friends and family, bring a picnic blanket and sit back, relax and enjoy … as the tempo builds during the countdown to 8.30pm when the lights on the Cathedral will be switched off to mark the beginning of Earth Hour.

You will be entertained by:

  • Dr Sanchez - Latin Guitar
  • Hera
  • The Ragamuffin Children
  • The Easy Hearts
  • The Eastern
  • The Flip Grater Band

Plus there will be lots of great ‘energy efficient’ prizes to be won!

This is a family friendly event and a unique way to experience Earth Hour!
