The outdoor festival is welcome to all ages, which means no drugs or alcohol allowed. Those 11 years old and under can enter for free but must be with an adult.
“We are building a home full of community, magic, compassion and passion. A home that portals us back into the deep waters of ourselves, because home is more than a foundation and four walls. A home is where creation happens, curiosity happens, joy happens. We are building a world to be bold in. To heal ourselves through art and colour,” share the festival producers.
This year’s lineup includes Canadian artists Ikky, Surrey-based Khanvict, and Vancouver’s BAINS.
