Rest Fest ✰✰✰
PRESENTED BY MUTUAL LOVE
For the first time ever, Mutual Love’s Rest Fest is popping up at The Future Front House.
Presented by Mutual Love, Rest Fest brings the LGBTQ+ community (and allies) together to promote rest, wellness, play and healing through music, games, restorative activations and interactive spaces. Since 2023, the festival has welcomed thousands of guests, families and friends—and we’re grateful to be its host in 2024!
Rest Fest is all-ages, wheelchair accessible, as well as tobacco- and alcohol-free. Scroll for more details.
