Celebrate Dry January among like-minded individuals and some of the best nonalcoholic products available on the market. The is back for its fourth year with over three days of programming focused on the benefits of no- and low-alcohol beverages and holistic health practices.
For event co-founder Derek Brown, it’s a celebration of social wellness that has grown from approximately 120 people in attendance to now an estimated 1,000.
“We don’t want people to feel like they have to hold up in their room and sip on soda water. We want to give them delicious drinks. We want to offer them parties, wellness activations like journaling classes and meditation,” Brown told 海角精品黑料.
Not only that, but the event includes access to hundreds of different products, panels and parties across the D.C. area. The event runs Friday through Sunday.
Throughout the weekend, there will also be an immersive art installation called “Lucid Bear,” which will have “functional” cocktails, or cocktails that have some kind of health property, such as energizing or calming.
And if you’re a fan of beverages with alcohol, Brown said the festival can still be a ton of fun.
“We think Mindful Drinking Fest is for everybody,” he said.
Tickets cost $75 for a full event pass. For access to each day’s activations, prices vary.
