What to expect at this festival?
Packing all three elements- Fitness, music and lifestyle, this festival caters to a wide demographic, offering a well-rounded experience. From workshops and sports tournaments to fully-stocked refuel zones and open-air sundowners ft. DJ sets by D’ARK, PRFCT and AEZY, every hour here will keep you busy.
You can meet like-minded fitness enthusiasts and creators here, making it perfect for expanding your circle, building an intimate community, or simply when needing company for Friday morning runs or late-night badminton games. Furthermore, the food zones here offer guilt-free clean eats, ranging from loaded salads to filling smoothies and delicious matchas, among more.
Coming to workshops, there lies an exceptional variety to choose from. Pick a dance session led by experienced coaches, painting sessions to craft masterpieces to take home or even a matcha-making workshop! These workshops are further complemented by games and activities sprinkled throughout the day. From pull-up competitions and track racing to push-up sets and high-intensity workout challenges– the festival promises to keep you sweating.
Taking the centre stage, however, are the pickleball and football tournaments. The pickleball tournament is divided into two sectors: beginner and intermediate. Among these factions, the teams are further segregated into women’s doubles, men’s doubles and mixed doubles. The football tournament, on the other hand, offers 7v7 knockout matches with each game lasting no more than thirty minutes. Only 6 slots are available, so we recommend hurrying! If you are not really interested in competing, you can even book your own courts for a joyride session.
