Spring is in the air, and one of the season’s biggest festivals has arrived. The 11th Annual Awakening Into the Sun Spring Festival returns to North Straub Park this Saturday and Sunday, March 2 and 3, taking place from 10 am – 5 pm each day.

Awakening Into The Sun features a massive indie market with more than 100 vendors, live music all weekend, and some incredible food from local food trucks, including largely vegan-friendly offerings. Those three alone are enough to get us excited, but what makes this Spring Festival so unique is its dedication to wellness, with tons of free classes, workouts, and experiences to help us rise with the warming temperatures and lengthening days of spring.

There will be multiple yoga sessions, drum circles, hula hooping, and even a Saturday night dance party. There will also be a zero-proof bar by local NA favorites Herban Flow, which includes a wide variety of functional beverages.

Admission to the 11th Annual Awakening Into the Sun Spring Festival is completely free, as are all classes and events. The festival is also open to all ages, as well as furry friends, so long as they are on leashes. Learn more here, and check out the full schedule below.
