Dress Theme - Neo Tribal. Think burning man. Think galactic warriors coming to earth for a party at the end of time.

Join us for an epic gathering of community with heartfelt sharing of Music, Dance, Spoken Word, Tribal Drums, Fire performance and Art.

This highly anticipated event is an expansion of VanderAa's most recent garden shows, the well renowned Monday drum circles at tickle park 'Circadian Rhythms' & an all star collection of performing artists.

What these secret garden shows are becoming is something fairytales are made of. A playground to explore ideas, to grow, stimulate our brains into creative cognition through music & community. A healing ground of frequencies, a safe place for families, held by the land nurturing our souls into flow state. Feel the fire, feel the dance, feel the love, feel the connection to land... this is what we are creating together.

Our goal is to make this a Zero Waste Carbon and Neutral event. Please see pdf link to find how we can help in lowering our environmental impact and suggestions for your awesome costumes - https://linktr.ee/vanderaaband
