“What do I need from my community and what does my community need from me?”

Full Moon Festival strives to be more than just a music festival; we work diligently to create a nexus of art, ideas, community, and awareness. Each event is carefully tailored by and for our immediate community, and is informed by what we believe our community needs in order to grow, and what experiences can make an impact for our attendees, artists and collaborators.

The celestial positioning of the moon, sun, and seasons also guides our intentions, as well as everything the Full Moon Festival creates. We believe that blessed are those who live their lives according to the moon.
