✨ Welcome to the Little Festival That Could ✨

Tucked beside a sparkling lake, a tiny dream took root—growing each year into a wonderland of rhythm, color, and connection.

Here, laughter echoes through the trees, music floats on the breeze, and strangers become family beneath the stars. Not the biggest, just the most heartfelt.

A place to wander, to wonder, and to belong.

Unlimited Waitlist

when tickets go on sale after the line up drop, they will start at Tier 2 pricing.

However, the waitlist is unlimited, so you can still join to get Tier 1 pricing. We're honoring Tier 1 pricing for everyone who joins the Waitlist before the line up drop.

It’s ZERO RISK. Nothing to pay now. And you’ll have 24 hours to decide once the line up drops.
