A Typical Day at an All World Acres Festival
In the morning stroll down to the cafe for coffee and/or breakfast. Outside in the courtyard you'll find many people socializing and planning for the day's activities. Wander into the garden circle where you can enjoy a quiet moment for meditation or exercise. The fire circle is another favorite spot in the morning and don't forget a visit to the horses. Next it's time to check out the workshop schedule. They all sound fun and educational so catch a couple before lunch. After lunch, if it's warm out, you might want to cool off in the mistik garden. Or if you prefer to soak up more knowledge there's always more workshops. The afternoon is also a great time for shopping and you'll find a bustling merchants' row with a large diverse selection of merchandise. In the evening you might enjoy a concert or show in the courtyard or join an impromptu jam session/sing-a-long. The night is also time for drum circle and a visit to AWA is incomplete without experiencing  the magic around the main fire.

First Time Festival Attendees
At All World Acres we have always been proud that many people come here for their first visit to a festival or community gathering. We strive to make everyone feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. Want to make new friends? You'll find some of the nicest people you're ever going to meet. Want to remain solitary and just observe? There's plenty of room for privacy and everyone's wishes are respected. 

General Info 
The site for this event, All World Acres, has hosted more than 70 different events over the past seven years. AWA is a not for profit sanctuary and campground that is supported by the community it serves. All of the work done to prepare and facilitate this event is done by volunteers. Their only compensation is the satisfaction of working in a family-like environment to better the community at large. We hope all visitors will want to "join the family" and treat AWA as their home.
