This year, the Kid’s Zone at Grovestock will be hosted by Rainbow Lightning, a grassroots, Denver-based nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a safe environment for youth and the community.

Their mission is to inspire and empower young minds to stay clear and substance-free while fostering holistic development through their guiding principles of sustainability, wellness, creativity, self-expression, community, growth, and love.

The Kid’s Zone offers a weekend filled with co-creative activities and interactive educational experiences, providing a wide range of artistic outlets without limitations. Rainbow Lightning is committed to minimizing their carbon footprint and powers the entire camp and workshops using a homemade solar-powered generator.

Some of the activities in the Kid’s Zone include sewing, costume making, tie-dying, and face painting (in preparation for daily parades), as well as workshops on primitive skills and permaculture to promote sustainable futures. There are also sessions on yoga, qi gong, movement, and play to keep our bodies limber and healthy. Additionally, there are daily open mics and talent showcases to create a musical flow and foster teamwork.

The goal of the Rainbow Lightning village is to provide a fun and educational experience for all attendees. They aim to impart valuable life skills and create lasting memories.

To support this offering at Grovestock, you can purchase the Rainbow Lightning Add-on along with your ticket, either online or at the gate.

Please note that anyone aged 17 or younger must be accompanied by a parent or legal adult guardian. To learn more about the Rainbow Lightning Team, visit their website at http://www.rainbowlightning.org/.

(FESTIVAL SCHEDULE COMING SOON)

Grovestock is a festival that values artistic expression and encourages artists to showcase their work in the rugged and natural setting of Sunlight Mountain.

As you explore the festival grounds, you will come across hidden treasures, such as the Hammock Forest, The Sacred Fire, Movement Space, and Fire Garden, among others. We invite you to become a part of these exhibits and immerse yourself in the art and culture of Grovestock.

We ask that you be respectful of all art on the festival grounds and refrain from damaging or removing any artwork. The artists have worked hard to create these exhibits, and we want to ensure that they are preserved for everyone to enjoy. Additionally, we encourage you to engage with the artists and learn more about their inspiration and creative process.

Grovestock is a celebration of art, music, and community, and we are excited to share this experience with you.
