When and Where
Mountain Rise Festival will take place from February 20th to 22nd, 2026.
The festival is held at the beautiful Sai Mok Waterfall in Chiang Mai, a place we call home, a sacred land of flowing water, deep calm, and living spirit. This year, we gather again in harmony with the land and continue to host the festival together with the local villagers. Their presence, care, and shared spirit are an essential part of this place, reminding us that Mountain Rise is not only a gathering in nature, but a gathering with the community that lives alongside it.
Gates open at 10:00 AM on December 20th, and the festival concludes at 16:00 PM on December 22nd.
