Went with a friend and we really enjoyed our time! Started with a guided meditation that lead to beautiful conversations before the actual event. Highly recommend for a date, friend thing, or even going on your own! Good vibes all around <3 Only sad thing is they closed the bathrooms... Can the park leave them open for events??

This festival was more than I could have imagined!! Setting intentions, remembering loved ones, conversation cards and the picnic we planned made for the perfect evening! This event was well organized and had awesome food & drink vendors. Bring your blanket or lawn chairs, extra marker colors and prepare for a great evening! 10/10 highly recommend

Got these for my daughter, she loved it and her boyfriend did too. She really liked the Goodie Bags they gave (said more pens, some colors, would be a great addition!)!
