During the busy North 2 Shore Festival and World Cup festivities, Rest Fest emerges as much-needed pause away from the city’s hustle and bustle. Attendees can expect immersive wellness experiences including yoga, meditation, sound healing, art experiences, conversations on mental health and healing, holistic vendors, nourishing food, and spaces intentionally curated for pause, reflection, and connection.

Rest Fest will be hosted at Chambers Plaza on the NJPAC campus and bring together wellness practitioners, artists, musicians, movement facilitators, and community healers for a day centered on restoration and collective care. The day culminates in a high vibrational dance party where participants will be invited to release their stress, move their bodies and revel in the spirit of fun and community.

Whether you come to dance, stretch, journal, cry, laugh, or simply sit in the sun for a while, Rest Fest is an invitation to align your body, soul and spirit. Why? Because we deserve it!
