FEST 5 Confirmed August 2026

We’re thrilled to share that FEST is officially back in Idyllwild for its 5th year. The response from the extended FWB community has been extraordinary: a reminder of how much this gathering means and what we’ve built together. Thanks to that energy, we’ve found new partners who believe in keeping the magic alive.

Here’s what matters most: we’ll be gathering in the woods again.

A few words from our new partners: 

We are more excited than ever to meet again in the mountains, and we are exploring early partnerships to make FEST bigger & better. Please drop a note to [email protected] to chat.
