The ARISE Music Festival coordinates outstanding opportunities for music fans to connect intimately with the featured performers in an applied learning setting with rousing workshops, presentations, and Playshop Sessions. These collaborations highlight main stage band members in a rare improvisational setting.

Audience members will have a unique and up-close opportunity to learn about the process of making music while taking part in five scheduled sessions. Part performance and part story-telling, Playshop Sessions allow for an intimate and original experience as audience, participants, and artists engage in a variety of topics from songwriting to performing, allowing a behind-the-scenes view into the musician’s creative process.

With an emphasis on engaging and empowering communities; the ARISE Music Festival provides space for distinct platforms to take shape including the NoCo-Hemp Village, an area for presenting interactive demonstrations addressing today’s environmental dilemma’s called the Solutions Village, as well as a variety of healthy lifestyle programming and organic vending options. The festival features the Sunrise Ranch Farmers Market offering fresh produce and grass-fed beef grown and raised right there at the Sunrise Ranch farm. Moreover, quality yoga and movement classes are offered all day in a stunning panoramic setting, overlooking the 100-acre festival grounds in the Gaia Yoga Zone.
