Halfway between the solstice and spring equinox, Imbolc marks the beginning of a pagan spring - an opportunity to prepare the metaphysical soil for the seeds of a new cycle.
As always, we aim to create a space where festival meets ritual - an opportunity to feel, play, connect and grow - and to showcase our collective of talented artists and creatives from South Australia (and beyond).

This gathering is not a place to escape from the world, but an invitation to dive deeper into what is most meaningful and most real. A chance to nurture the eternal creative spark that lives within each of us.
It’s the year of the snake - shedding, revealing, transforming. With their bellies to the ground, the serpent asks us to return to the wisdom of the earth, to remember and reinforce our foundations. To let go of what we’ve outgrown and honour what lies at the core of our beings.
This year falls on a full moon, adding to the themes of wholeness and illumination. The focus is not on what needs to be released, but on what’s revealed through the gentle process of letting go.

THE SOUND
Music is at the heart of everything we do, and forms both the guide and the anchor for our journey. A dark, immersive exploration of underground sounds and ethereal realms, brought to life through the clarity, depth and weight of the Tordenhiem Sound System.
THE PROCESS
More than just a party, Imbolc is a ritual that incorporates aspects of ceremony throughout the three-day process. Immerse yourself in the subtle story woven through the weekend. We will be honouring the elements that surround us, and encourage you to engage and contribute to the ritual aspect. Listen for the gong that indicates the beginning of each process. Bring an item that you are willing to let go of (no plastic please) to tie to our Hearth Staff set up in the communal area, to be burnt and released in the closing ceremony on Sunday night. Or tie on a written note or prayer.
THE SPACE
Our intentions are imbedded into the layout, working with nature and frequency. It's a winter doof, so we’ll have communal fires and plenty of covered and cosy areas to keep you warm. We expect a clear weekend but will have ample shelter in place, including over the dancefloor. Food and coffee vendors will be open through the weekend to keep you fed and fuelled.
THE LAND
Approximately 1-2 hours Northeast of Adelaide, the location will be released to ticketholders in the week prior to the festival.
We pay our respects to the Traditional Owners, acknowledging our privilege to connect with each other on country. Sovereignty was never ceded.
