Rise Festival

Join us for our 10th Anniversary

October 3rd, 4th, & 5th 2025

For the past nine years, tens of thousands of kindred spirits have gathered in the Mojave Desert to participate in an awe-inspiring communal ceremony called RISE.

RISE is an immersive, three-part festival blending Art, Music, and Light into a magical and elevating experience.

Everyone receives two lanterns upon which we write our hopes, dreams, fears, and intentions. And twice per night, we light and let go.

It’s a collective art project, a moment to behold, and the centerpiece of our festival.

I’ve attended RISE every year, and it has taken on a deep personal meaning for me. RISE is an opportunity and reminder each year to return to love. Tyler

Watching all the lanterns float towards the night sky together was a beautiful, emotional moment so full of love. Kia

RISE Festival was truly the most magical experience I had ever had. RISE has allowed me to speak to my father even though he is gone and for that I will forever be grateful. Kristen

Going to RISE was such a magical experience! It’s hard to put into words the feeling that comes over you when 10,000+ people release their lanterns at once. BRYCE
