GLOW Fest is a circus arts and lifestyle event created by Sophie deLightful, and brought to life with the assistance of Marnie Lane and Tim Webster (Timbadim Pixie). It launched in March 2021, at beautiful Waves Campground in the relaxed surf town of Crescent Head (mid-north coast NSW). Its annual program offers an exciting and eclectic mix of circus and flow arts workshops, showcase performances, fire spinning circles, children’s activities and entertainment, art installations, art experiences and live music jams.

Bringing together the best parts of a circus arts festival with Burning Man principles and creativity, it is truly a multi-faceted arts event. Family-friendly and community-driven, it also includes a strong focus on sustainability, participation, inclusion and connection.

The 2024 event will take place at Waves Campground on the springtime date of 5-9 September. Super Early Bird tickets are now available for a limited time!

The organisers of GLOW Fest acknowledge that this event is being held on the traditional lands of the Dunghutti people, and we pay our respects to Elders both past, present and future. We recognise the past atrocities against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of this land and that Australia was founded on the genocide and dispossession of First Nations people.

Sovereignty has never been ceded. It always was and always will be, Aboriginal land.
