Evolve Festival is a celebration of old customs and new ways to transform the health and wellbeing of individuals, the community and the earth. Feed your mind, soul, heart – and tummy! Share knowledge about sustainable living, hear inspirational leaders and visionary pioneers, connect with old and new friends, dance, laugh and play. With so much on offer, there is something for everyone.
From 2018 Evolve Festival has been every other year- with time to pause and breathe for the organisation team! We cant wait to celebrate with you in Jan 2022.
