Canada’s 10th annual
family and eco-friendly festival
Lucent Festival
2024
August 9th- 11th, 2024
star 6 ranch
kananaskis, Alberta
lu·cent — /ˈlo͞os(ə)nt/
Glowing with or giving off light.
Let’s disconnect from the chaos and noise of life and instead get really present to the power of community.
Come immerse yourself in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains for the weekend and generate new friendships, feel alive and supported, try new things, get playful + be inspired!
Lucent reminds us of why we are here on this planet
and what matters most
It’s the chance to start anew, refocus, feel deeply and reignite the power we each have to choose how we show up
for ourselves and the future.
The 10th Annual Lucent festival is being hosted at star 6 ranch!
The Star 6 Ranch is a place that welcomes youth, families, individuals and communities, to reconnect with the rhythms of our natural world. Through our land-based programs, equine connections and community partnerships, we hold space for individuals to embark on journeys of self-discovery, healing, resiliency-building and growth.
Reconnecting in meaningful ways with land, community and self, guides people of all ages to hone their inner compasses, unearth their authentic selves, and discover that everything we need to thrive lies within.
The Star 6 Ranch acknowledges that we live, work and recreate on sacred lands and traditional territories within the Ozade Îmne (Kananaskis) region. Alongside Mînî Thnî (Morley), on the banks of the Ozade Imne Wapta (Kananaskis River), in the presence of Îyâ Mnathka (Yamnuska), we take responsibility for understanding our role in reconciliation and honour the past, present and future.
Carve out intentional time to truly connect with yourself, your family and other like-minded wholehearted humans.
Come together in the great outdoors for our 10th annual unique eco + family-friendly festival and allow yourself to reset, relax and appreciate.
If good old-fashioned face-to-face connection, nature and community is your jam, we want you to come add you magic to the mix.
Music + connection Friday night 6pm onwards.
Come set up your camp, unwind and chill.
Festivities + classes begin Saturday morning 9am
We’re here for a good time
and a long time.
this year’s a special one,
Our 10th anniversary!!
Year after year, our Lucent community becomes chosen family and keeps getting bigger and brighter.
Let us welcome you with open arms!
