Taking place Feb. 21 in the Waterloo Arts District, the fest features more than 30 music acts representing a range of genres, as well as other fun, including large-scale light installations, ice sculptures and interactive art. Stay warm around the bonfire, in a warming tent outfitted with an artist activation or in a cocktail igloo. Hungry? Grab a s’mores at one of the s’mores stations or head to a local food truck or hot chocolate stand.

While general admission is $15, another option is a $45 ticket that comes with a Brite hat and helps cover the cost of pay-what-you-can attendees, a choice ensuring the event is accessible to all. Before Feb. 17, you can also purchase a $250 V.I.P. ticket that comes with access to a catered reception, commemorative merch, a private bar with restrooms and reserved on-site parking.
