About the Festival

Rooted in community. Open to all.

SahaFest: Heal, Gather, Thrive is a free, community wellness and healing arts festival in the heart of Bates-Hendricks. Our intention is simple — to create real opportunities for people to come together and be well together, and to provide healing resources and experiences that people might not otherwise have access to.

Expect live music, yoga, breathwork, sound healing, a family art station, community health and wellness resources, wellness business vendors, food trucks, and hands-on sessions with Saha practitioners — all in one afternoon, all free to attend.
