🌟 AN ENORMOUS THANK YOU TO OUR INCREDIBLE TEAMS & LEADS!
An event of this scale truly takes a village, and we were incredibly blessed to have an absolute powerhouse of a team leading the charge. Words cannot fully express our gratitude for the dedication, quick thinking, and hard work this crew put in over the weekend.
Please take a moment to show some love to the phenomenal people who made it all happen:
🛡️ Security & First Aid Teams
Keeping everyone safe and cared for is always top priority, and these guys executed it flawlessly:
Justin Capps & Sonya: A massive thank you for your incredible leadership! Please check out and support their fantastic Smyrna, DE-based non-profit, The Ossuary Inc. over at The Ossuary Inc..
Steve White & Colleen: Thank you both so much for your vigilance, dedication, and for keeping our community safe all weekend long!
🗺️ Vendor Coordinator: Marianne Jackson / Elation Boutique LLC
Marianne went completely above and beyond handling our weekend logistics! Not only did she meticulously design the vendor maps, but she also acted as an amazing shield for us—filtering and filing vendor feedback to review after the festival so we could stay focused on the ground without getting overwhelmed by the things we couldn't control (like the wind speeds!)
Please show her business some love at shopatelation.com! 🛍️
🎨 Live Artist Coordinator: Shannon Shine
Shannon was an absolute dream to work with! She kept the live art perfectly organized, vibrant, and ran everything with such grace. We highly encourage everyone to check out her stunning work and support her directly at ShannonShineArt.com. 🖌️✨
🤝 Volunteer Coordinator: Halfrican Parker Andrew Parker (AKA DJ Half-Hack3d )
When official volunteer sign-ups came in lower than expected, Andrew completely stepped up, stayed laser-focused, and kept morale high! (And yes, he’s also an awesome DJ for hire!)
A huge, special shout-out to the two official volunteers who did show up and worked their hearts out: Sage & Charlie—you two are absolute rockstars! 🎸
🎵 Production & Stage Leads
Our stages were electric thanks to these audio-visual wizards:
Steve Psybod ( Our Velocity Productions ): Thank you for seamlessly leading and managing our incredible DJ Performers Stage & Schedule!
Jenn ( Illumanize LLC ): Thank you for masterfully managing the Main Stage Performers and keeping the energy alive all weekend!
🚀 The Ultimate Clutches: Shiki Fox & Josh Noble
Last, but certainly not least, a massive, monumental thank you to Shiki Fox (AKA DJ White Girl Wasted ) and Josh Noble (AKA DJ/Roaming Performer Statik Sky) When both our Workshop Coordinator and Roaming Performer Coordinator had to cancel the literal day before the gates opened, these two stepped right into the fire without hesitation. They saved the day, managed the chaos beautifully, Helped with a few various decor tasks, and we are forever grateful for your rescue mission! 😭🙌
🩵To every single lead, coordinator, and helper listed here: you are the backbone of this festival. Thank you for your grit, your passion, and your talent. We couldn't have done this without you! 🩵
