This is a 10,000-12,000 person festival located in beautiful British Columbia. Its set in a massive ranch (a working ranch every other day) where you camp in a valley surrounded by mountains. There are 6 different stages all scattered throughout the trees with one on the beach.

I think the goal is to get lost and explore. Each stage has been created with love and dedication. Everywhere you turn you see art. Wether it's a gallery in a tent or throughout the festival. The music goes from sunup to sun down and the sound-system and lighting are truly phenomenal. There are the most creative and beautiful costumes worn by most festival goers as well. This festival is for pure positive souls and is an adventure from the moment you come through the gates.

The premise is to go there to be yourself with no judgement and to make lifelong friends. Anything goes. Alcohol is not permitted. It is a safe haven to experiment with drugs and there are tester stations as well. Never a fight, never a negative thought and a rarity that someone gets hurt.

In some way shape or form....you leave a better person
