Rise and Vibes Music Festival

09/02/2026

The best thing you can bring to Rise & Vibes? Yourself. 💛

Your energy. Your creativity. Your weirdness. Your softness. Your wild side. Your dance moves that probably shouldn’t leave the living room.

This is a place to let your guard down, follow the music, make unexpected connections, and remember how good it feels to just BE.

However you show up, there’s room for you here. 🌴✨

Many moments at Rise & Vibes felt like pure magic unfolding in real time… and what Lily Fangz & Tubby Love created separately and together were some of the absolute highlights. ✨💛🐙

For their back-to-back Main Stage sets, they turned the stage into a living room — couches and chairs, tea being poured, friends hanging and dancing, a live painter creating alongside them, plus an incredible cast of talented homies to weave in and out of the music.

Songs became jams. Jams became freestyles. Special guests kept appearing. Nobody knew what was coming next... 😎🌈🎶

Their talent, openness, and pure creative spirit lifted us all the way to the moon. 🌙✨And the vibe was SO high. The crowd was completely wrapped up in the moment and we wished it could gone on forever. It was emotional, it was vulnerable, it was ecstatic, it was magic.

Lily & Tubby also brought so much heart to the Sacred Fire and Songwriters in the Round — creating some of the most vibrant, potent, magical, connected moments of the entire festival.

This is what we dream about when we create Rise & Vibes: giving incredible humans the space to follow inspiration, collaborate, play, improvise, surprise each other, and create something that could only happen right there, with those people, in that moment.

Here are a few glimpses into something we’ll never forget. One of our all-time favorite Rise & Vibes moments. 💛🔥💖

When the main stage lights fade, the real magic settles in. Campfire jams, bass echoing under the starry sky, and conversations with strangers who feel like old friends. Some of the best stories start after dark. 🌙✨

During Thievery Corporation’s set at Rise & Vibes, we looked out at thousands of people dancing under the stars and thought... is this really happening?! 🔥✨

What an absolutely EPIC moment for our magic-filled festival by the river.

From the moment Thievery took the stage, we were transported. One legendary track after another, an incredible revolving cast of vocalists, thousands of people dancing under the stars, and the whole production unfolding right in front of us.

When Frank Orrall came out for “The Heart’s a Lonely Hunter,” swinging his glow poi through the night sky and over the crowd, we were are completely dazzled. 🤯✨ One of those moments where you look around at everyone losing their minds and think... THIS IS HAPPENING AT RISE & VIBES?!

We were buzzing about this set before it happened and everyone was talking about it long after it was over.

What a night. What a show. What an absolute honor to have these legends bring their magic to Rise & Vibes. 💛🌴

At most music festivals, finding a quiet moment to yourself can feel impossible.

At Rise & Vibes, it’s part of the experience 🌿💧

With 80+ acres of riverside, forests, beaches, and open space, you can step away from the crowd whenever you need to recharge. Find a hammock, take a dip in the river, wander a trail, or simply sit in the sunshine before heading back to the music.

That’s what sets Rise & Vibes apart. It’s not just a weekend of incredible music. It’s the freedom to move at your own pace, reconnect with nature, and find moments of peace in between the magic.
