WHEN: 2-4 May 2025

WHERE: Tui Events Park / Wainui Bay / Golden Bay

‘Love for Self, Community & Planet’

Lovefest is about Love for self, community, and earth, and is the biggest sober festival in Australia. Join us for the first Lovefest in New Zealand / Aotearoa.

A chance to gather in one of Aotearoa’s most beautiful areas in nature, nestled right next to the Abel Tasman National Park, and celebrate connection, creativity, and conscious living. It’s about coming together to share workshops, music, art, and moments that inspire self-awareness, community, and celebrating our authentic selves in many different ways.

We are intentionally choosing to be Sober at this event so we are all on the same wavelength that enables deeper CONNECTION within ourselves, each other, and country. This will include a mix of live music around the fire and on stage, cultural performances, permaculture, holistic, relational and embodiment workshops, inspirational discussions, DJ’s and Conscious Dance and a whole lot of fun and magic including many surprises.

Lovefest Golden Bay is a collaboration between Embodied Freedom, SoulHum and Lovefest Australia. 

Embodied Freedom is a movement of people reclaiming & remembering community and this is a place where Lovefest and Embodied Freedom meets. With Embodied Freedom comes a multigenerational movement called SoulHum - a group of young people who will be joining in the co-creation of this event.

It's time to gather, going inwards, touching inside and reflecting through workshops as well as being in community together. As the weather starts to get cooler, we stoke up the fire, share food, stories and dance under the stars.
