The Social Center
Stepping out of the Galaxy Barn, you enter The Courtyard—the open-air social plaza of the festival.Anchored by immersive art installations on the dance floor and a central fire pit, this is where the party spills out under the sky. An outdoor screen broadcasts the action from inside the barns, connecting you to the music while you grab a drink at the bar or reconnect with friends.
