What is Elements Music & Arts Festival?
Elements Music & Arts Festival is a premier immersive electronic festival in the woodlands of the Poconos, that welcomes over 100 of dance music’s largest artists for a “Burning Man-esque” type of festival. The immersive multi-day camping experience brings some of music’s biggest fans into a wooded festival ground to enjoy multiple stages of EDM, large-scale interactive art installations, art workshops and demonstrations, wellness programs, workshops and talks, theme camps, and so much more.
It’s renowned for its community vibe, which similar to Burning Man, puts emphasis on a sense of community (or “PLUR”) and sustainability through inclusion and socialization with other people there for the music.
“Elements is and will always be radically inclusive,” says Elements Co-Founder Brett Herman. “Once you’ve seen what we’ve created in the forests and fields, it’s only natural to want to see more.”
Fans can spend an entire weekend checking out the multiple stages on the grounds which each represent an element (Earth, Fire, Air, Water) and a different genre of music (house, techno, dubstep, and live performances). This all comes while there’s plenty of other visual and performance artists curating art cars, sound experiences, physical art, and immersive experiences.
