Unlike larger festivals, Dancing Tree Festival is a boutique, heart-centered event that focuses on authentic connection, local talent, and immersive experiences. Our festival is substance-free, family-friendly, and intentionally curated to foster meaningful relationships with yourself, your community, and the Earth.
We believe in the power of local artistry and healing—which is why our lineup features mainly regional musicians, healers, movement facilitators, and teachers who bring their gifts to create a truly organic and homegrown experience.
✨ A Grounded & Nourishing Experience
Dancing Tree Festival is a deeply rooted and grounded gathering, designed to feel like living in a village for a long weekend. Each day unfolds with immersive workshops, while the evenings transition into music, dance, and drumming around the fire.
