๐ฝโจ THE MOTHERSHIP HAS OFFICIALLY LEFT 29 PALMSโฆ โจ๐ธ
What. A. Weekend. ๐
The 3rd Annual AREA 29: Galactic Gathering has come to a close, and weโre still floating somewhere in orbit thinking about four incredible days of music, art, dancing, stargazing, strange encounters and pure desert weirdness. ๐ต๐
From making a splash at the UFO Pool Party ๐ธ๐ฆ, getting wonderfully weird at Another Otherworldly Evening ๐ฝ, probing the mysteries of the universe at Alien Probe ๐ญ and glowing our way through the grand finale at SPACE JAM ๐ชฉโจโฆyou earthlings showed up ready for an adventure.
And that was only part of the transmission. Between THE HUNT, live music, art installations, Planet Zelatron, astronomy, comedy, performances and surprises scattered throughout Twentynine Palms, AREA 29 once again reminded us just how much creativity exists in this little corner of the Mojave. ๐
A massive cosmic THANK YOU to every artist, musician, performer, DJ, venue, partner, local business, volunteer, collaborator and behind-the-scenes human who helped bring this strange little universe to life. And most importantly, thank you to EVERYONE WHO CAME โ whether you traveled across galaxies to get here or live right down the dirt road. ๐๐ฝ
๐ธ Extra intergalactic love to our incredible photographer Documentary-Style Wedding Photographer | Joshua Tree, CA for capturing all the cosmic chaos, desert magic and unforgettable moments from AREA 29. Thank you for helping us preserve this wild weekend for the archives of the universe! ๐ฝโจ
Special thanks to Visit 29 Palms for helping support AREA 29 and our mission to bring visitors together with the weird and whacky, creative community of Twentynine Palms. ๐ต๐ธ
Until our signals cross againโฆ
KEEP LOOKING UP.โจKEEP 29 WEIRD.โจAND NEVER STOP BELIEVING. ๐ฝโจ๐ธ
See you somewhere in the cosmos for AREA 29: Galactic Gathering 4.0โฆ ๐๐
