2024
Connection to Deepen Resilience
Our 2024 festival theme was "Connection to Deepen Resilience and Keep Moving Forward.” Through interactive art workshops, film screenings with live Q&A, and music and conversation, attendees discovered ways to act locally for global impact and draw connections together in a turbulent sociopolitical climate. The weekend closed with a volunteer riverside cleanup and celebratory brews at New Belgium Brewing.
