LiveWildFest, Charleston’s homegrown health and wellness festival, will return May 2, 2026, bringing a full day of movement, mindfulness, music and community connection. This year, the festival will take place at a new venue — Firefly Distillery, 4201 Spruill Ave. in North Charleston — offering expanded space for workshops, classes and celebration.
Presale tickets will launch Jan. 8, 2026, at a special rate of $79 and will be available through Jan. 13. General admission tickets will be available beginning Jan. 14 for $89.
A One-Day Festival for Movement, Wellness and Connection
LiveWildFest is designed to help attendees discover, experience and connect — whether through yoga, breathwork, live music, high-intensity fitness, Pilates, cycling, meditation or workshops led by a mix of Charleston-based instructors and special guest leaders from beyond the Lowcountry.
With a focus on joy, self-discovery and community, LiveWildFest welcomes people of all backgrounds — from Charleston and across South Carolina, as well as visitors traveling from out of state — to celebrate wellness in an inclusive, welcoming environment.
“When we began creating what is now LiveWildFest, we had no idea it would evolve into something so grand,” said Kelsey Harrison, co-founder of LiveWildFest. “This festival is an experience you won’t want to miss. It’s an opportunity to discover something new, step out of your comfort zone, enjoy a day of play and joy, and connect more deeply with yourself and your community.”
