Survive the New Year. Together. | March 13 + 14
Presented by: Center for the Arts x Cooperative Futures Institute
Winter is long. The future is uncertain. Community is essential.
Survival Fest is a winter festival designed to help us face it all-with humor, creativity, science, movement, music, and each other. Across one unforgettable weekend, learn practical survival skills, explore big ideas, make things with your hands, laugh into the unknown, and dance like the end times have a great soundtrack.
From avalanche awareness and snow shelters to jam bands, apocalypse comedy, saunas in the snow, and communal meals, Survival Fest blends brain food, body heat, and collective joy into something wildly necessary.
This isn’t about fear. It’s about resilience, connection, and having a really good time while building it.
