FEST is an internet exposition of music, emerging tech and culture. Part-festival, part-conference, 100% secret third thing. 

Yes, open to anyone 21+. But if you’re not a member we’d love to have you join the squad. More on that below. 

Yes, additional artists, speakers and collaborators will be announced as we get closer to the festival dates.

FWB FEST takes place at the legendary Idyllwild Arts Academy. This stunning campus is nestled in the San Jacinto Mountains and San Bernardino National Forest in Idyllwild, CA, approximately a two hour drive east of Los Angeles and an hour from Palm Springs. 

Idyllwild Arts / FEST is just a two hour drive from Los Angeles and an hour drive from Palm Springs. 

There is an abundance of affordable lodging options in the Idyllwild-Pine Cove area including but not limited to: Idyllwild Vacation Cabins, Airbnb, and VRBO. There are also several other small hotels and cabin groups in and around downtown Idyllwild that would love your business. We will have a shuttle running to and from downtown Idyllwild (at the Butterfield Amphitheatre parking lot), so if you find something that is walking distance from there, that’d be the easiest option. If you’d prefer to drive, free limited parking passes are available on a first-come, first-serve basis based on when you check in that allow you to park on our festival grounds.

Ace Hotel & Swim Club Palm Springs is also offering a special 20% discount code that will last all year if you’d like to stay before or after FEST for an extra vacation. The FWB community is welcome to use the code FWB2024 for booking stays online here.

FWB Fest will take place over 3.5 days, from August 1st to 4th. August 1st will be a FWB members only day, and August 2nd - 4th will be open to the public. The full schedule is forthcoming.

FWB is platforming a better internet. We tap culture to drive adoption of emerging tech. In practice that looks like global events, art and tech activations, digital media, and a dynamic member community.
