The venue is the picture perfect Virginia Key Beach Park, which dates back to 1896 and the formation of the state of Miami itself. It is a stunning place of rich natural culture and beauty with expansive wetlands, scenic beaches and sweeping views of the bay and the Atlantic. It will be respected by the festival which prides itself on taking care of the local environment. As such, The Keep Her Wild program, powered by Ascendance Sustainable Events, will return for this year’s event to raise attendee awareness, while all single-use plastic and styrofoam are banned at the festival.
The countdown is now on to the much anticipated return of Rakastella, which offers a mix of music and culture like no other.
