LiveWildFest returns May 2, 2026, with new venue at Firefly Distillery

Presale Tickets Launch January 8

LiveWildFest, Charleston’s homegrown health and wellness festival, returns on May 2, 2026, bringing a vibrant day of movement, mindfulness, music, and community connection. This year, the festival will take place at a new venue — Firefly Distillery (4201 Spruill Ave., North Charleston) — offering expanded space for workshops, classes, and celebration.

Presale tickets launch on January 8, 2026, at a special rate of $79, available through January 13. On January 14, general admission will be available 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, cycle classes, meditation, or workshops led by a mix of Charleston-based instructors and special guest leaders from beyond the Lowcountry. The 2026 festival brings together voices and movement styles from both local and visiting wellness professionals, creating a dynamic and well-rounded experience.

With a focus on joy, self-discovery, and community, LiveWildFest welcomes people of all backgrounds — from Charleston and across South Carolina to visitors traveling in 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,” says Kelsey Harrison, co-founder of LiveWildFest. “This festival is an experience you won’t want to miss. It is an opportunity to discover something new, to step out of your comfort zone, to have a day of play and joy, and to connect deeper to yourself and your community.”

2026 Programming Highlights

Attendees can expect a full day of classes and offerings, such as:

• Yoga (Vinyasa, restorative, sculpt)
