Rise & Vibes Festival has officially announced its 2026 lineup, inviting music lovers, creatives, and conscious community builders to gather for three unforgettable days of high-vibration music and riverside magic at the stunning Tico Time River Resort, May 29–31, 2026.

With a carefully curated blend of reggae, conscious roots, electronic, hip hop, and world music, Rise & Vibes creates a sonic journey designed to uplift, inspire, and unite.

Hosted at the Costa Rica–themed Tico Time River Resort, the festival offers riverside camping, glamping tents, cabins, RV sites, and premium car camping, along with swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, yoga, workshops, art installations, and family-friendly activities — making it a welcoming experience for all ages.
