Looking for a Florida Music Festival in April?

Follow our Road to EarthFest & Find your Community!

Come celebrate the 5th year anniversary of EarthFest & support hundreds of Florida artists as they bring their dreams to life. A full weekend of camping, community, live music, workshops and much more!

What is EarthFest?

EarthFest originated as a community for artists to support each other’s art & businesses. Leona Gold wanted to bring artists together from all walks of life. With ArtArmy at her fingertips, she had an opportunity to bring the idea of EarthFest into reality.

ArtArmy is global network of artists with over 100 outposts all over the world.

Leona is currently at ArtArmy Mt. Dora.

Sustainability

With a common mission in mind, each attending artist used recycled materials to create the art village inside the very first EarthFest. With a new location, some things have changed, but the mission stays the same as we bring you a bigger, better & safer EarthFest than ever before! You can still support local artists at the original recycled village where it now stands at Renninger’s Flea Market.

Even when it comes to fashion, sustainability is important for these Florida artists. You’ll be able to shop recycled art and clothing. In past years, EarthFest has put together an upcycled fashion show. This year will include more educational experiences about ‘One Less Paper‘ as well as a few other live exhibits.

What’s new at EarthFest?

This year, Leona & EarthFest have brought together ArtArmy artists from Orlando, Deltona, Daytona, Brevard, and Sarasota to create a community like no other! Many will be doing LIVE ART demonstrations, you can even collaborate on the community mural! There will be yoga, ecstatic dance and so much more fun stuff all weekend long!

Leona also partnered with Michael Haley & Liquid Air Entertainment to guarantee a safe & memorable experience for attendees. With Michael’s help, the Road to EarthFest was born! Join us as we travel 1 of 2 roads to EarthFest!

This year, EarthFest will display 200 musicians ranging in genres from EDM DJs, Funk, Reggae & more! EarthFest will be a mix of solo artists & bands bringing you a powerful weekend of performances packed on 5 different stages. Whether you’re at the Liquid Stage, Fire Stage, Wind Stage, Fifth Element Stage, or Earth Camp, you’ll find your tribe.

As always, a drum circle, surrounded by fire dancers, will be kept going ALL WEEKEND so, bring your drum or flow toys & be a part of the magic!

Jordan Roche

Outside of the rave world, I’m a certified vegan nutrition coach, corrective exercise fitness trainer and model. Live music feeds my soul. It has honestly played such a huge role in my mental health & overall happiness in life. The rave community is full of the most genuine, kind-hearted people & I'm so grateful to be a part of it. Quitting my job to go to Bonnaroo in 2022 was the one of the best decisions I ever made. My top 3 festivals so far are Elements, Imagine and Okeechobee but that’s likely to change when I hit Envision in 2024! Follow me on Instagram! @jordan_roche
