Polar Palooza 9: Time to Shine
Polar Palooza's 9th edition is returning to our stellar location in the heart of the Santa Cruz Mountains! Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of our private, redwood-forested wonderland for an unforgettable two-day extravaganza.
Polar Palooza is our chance each year to come together in celebration of community, art, and love — and we never mess around! With 4 stages of unbeatable energy curating surreal and hypnotic vibes from day to night, the 8th installment of our favorite campout showcases electrifying underground DJs from across California's scenes, original live performances, enriching workshops, and special ceremonies that unite us in the power of our collective love, community, and SHINE!
Our treehouse stage dancing under the redwoods is the heart of the event, where live music, thrilling installations, and bumping genres of electronic music unite. The heated pool stage is where things steam up later on. Plus, don't miss the hilariously enchanting 2-act play that ties everything together. Prepare to be mesmerized by our captivating performers and a specially curated lineup giggling your giblets with massive speaker arrays and Funktion One audio weekend long.
We’ll also have talented lyra, pole, and flow performers throughout the weekend and unique workshops to inspire your mind, body and soul. Our events are always special because of our organically grown community. Come and see why everyone always leaves Need a Minute events with new friends + full hearts, ready for the next one.
