Join us for LEAF Global Arts Festival, a family friendly gathering celebrating community, global art and culture, live music, craft, nature, and more. Tickets — at our MOST DISCOUNTED RATE — go on sale Saturday, June 1. (Look for a lineup sneak-peek on June 20 and a full line-up drop on July 18.)
With our October Festival we continue exploring our year-long theme: WORLD CHANGERS. This is about more than just artistic talent; it is a call to action — an opportunity for each of us to reflect on the role we can play in shaping our world. Our chosen artists are not just masters of their craft; they are beacons of hope, tirelessly advocating for a world where justice, peace, and creativity flourish.
And even as we seek to make positive impact as global citizens, we also welcome the spirit of joy, celebration, unity, and family (genetic and found) that makes LEAF such a special gathering. We welcome back those who have been coming to LEAF Festival for years along with those who are embarking on their very first LEAF. We can’t wait to celebrate with YOU!
