There’s nothing in the world quite like a Meow Wolf event.
The renowned entertainment brand is now gearing up for the Denver debut of Vortex, its fan-favorite music and arts festival which originally launched in Taos, New Mexico. And in 2022, it’s clear that Meow Wolf remains hellbent on pushing the limits of the live music experience.
Scheduled for August 5th to 7th, the mind-bending fest aims to encapsulate rave culture in its own unique way at the intersection of dance music and surrealism. Culinary delights, stupefying art installations and fantastical creatures are just a few of the experiential activations you’ll encounter at Vortex, which is as much of an adult playground as it is a music festival.
“There will be three days of endless entertainment, talented performers and mind-opening experiences fit for every attendee,” said Marsi Gray, senior creative producer at Meow Wolf, who says sustainability and social impact are two pillars of the event’s vendors.
