Pre-Playa Party: "The Unofficial Sendoff"
– Friday, August 21 - Saturday, August 22 –
Join us for an unforgettable evening of music, community, and celebration beneath the redwoods at Lupin Lodge as we gather for the Pre-Playa Party: "The Unofficial Sendoff." Hosted by longtime Lupin resident and community member Dylan Palmer before his journeys to Burning Man and New Zealand, this special event celebrates art, friendship, and the spirit of adventure with an evening of dancing, connection, and live DJ performances from a lineup of talented local artists. Gates open for an evening of music beginning at 5:00 PM, with overnight camping included in the $40 Friday admission to encourage a safe and relaxing experience. Guests may also choose to extend their stay by adding Saturday's optional Wellness Recovery Day featuring yoga, sound healing, massage, acupuncture, sauna, hot tub, ecstatic dance, and a pool party. In support of Lupin Lodge, no outside alcohol is permitted; affordable beer, cider, and seltzers will be available for purchase onsite. Whether you're coming to dance under the stars, reconnect with friends, or simply celebrate the vibrant community that makes Lupin so special, we hope you'll join us for this memorable weekend.
