Beschreibung
Come relish in the alchemy of this gathering amidst music, nature and sacred arts this September 10th - 13th for an epic and uplifting time in the Berkshire mountains of Massachusetts. This 4 day 3 night festival will be a time to slow down in nature and join with friends in many of the best ancient customs of being human.
BlessFest East 2026 features an array of uplifting and heart-opening offerings from inspired and epic musicians, teachers, fire keepers and ceremonial elders from across the United States.
Come home to what’s always been ours. For as long as humans have existed, we’ve gathered like this — making music, dancing under open sky, singing around fires, practicing sacred rites passed hand to hand across generations.
Different names, different lands, same ancient knowing: that we come alive when we’re together.
BlessFest is that birthright, reclaimed for a few days in community.
Come remember what your body already knows
Come as you are, come with all your humanness and dive into experience. This is a time for nurturing your body, mind and soul though being immersed in the magic of this beautiful gathering village.
