What offerings will be available on-site?
The festival is designed as a full-spectrum experience blending music, art, and wellness. General admission includes access to live music, art installations, and a selection of wellness and creative experiences throughout the day.
Select specialty workshops and immersive wellness sessions – such as yoga, breathwork, meditation, reiki, and sound experiences – may require advance registration and/or an additional fee due to limited capacity. These offerings will be clearly noted on the schedule prior to the event.
In addition to structured sessions, guests can explore interactive art installations, participate in collaborative creative experiences, and connect with local artists, healers, and makers. Live music will be woven throughout the festival, featuring a range of genres to create an uplifting and dynamic atmosphere.
Our intention is to offer accessible, beginner-friendly experiences while also providing depth for those with an existing wellness or creative practice. You’re invited to participate in as much – or as little — as feels aligned for you.
