Welcome to Luminate Festival

Luminate has been added to Everfest’s list of the 300 best festivals in the world, after being voted by the international festival community as one of the top 30 festivals from 2017. The Fest300 is a list of top global festivals compiled by Everfest:The Festival Authority, curated by travel & festival experts, along with votes from festival participants. Massive thanks to everyone who voted for Luminate, and to all the contributors and participants over the years who have helped to co-create this internationally renowned transformational festival with a focus on community, ecology and creativity.

80 of Luminate’s organisation team (festival directors, management & core crew) gathered together during Lughnasadgh this summer for 5 days of Luni-mate – the traditional crew gathering of visioning, innovating, activating, connecting and co-creating. Along with exciting innovations, focus groups, brainstorming, energy healing workshops and a variety of music, this year we embraced input from Zenergy (group facilitation) and guides in Compassionate Communication to help empower the crew. Refining the purpose, vision and culture of Luminate has been revolutionary!
