Revelers will converge in a kaleidoscope of energy, collectively embracing the Friendship ethos—a place for friends to do fun things. The entire showcase remains accessible, serving as a refuge of beats and rhythms, providing a respite from the dancefloor fervor as necessary.
The Meow Wolf legacy was founded by a group of artists in 2008 in Santa Fe by Vince Kadlubek, Sean Di Ianni, Matt King, Caity Kennedy, Corvas Brinkerhoff, and Benji Geary.
Meow Wolf emerged from the cosmic dust, a phoenix rising from the paint-splattered ashes of the avant-garde. The collective of creatives and misfits embarked on a psychedelic odyssey, melding immersive experiences with mind-bending narratives. After conquering hearts in Santa Fe and Las Vegas, the Meow Wolf caravan, fueled by a rebellious spirit, descended upon Denver in a whirlwind of neon dreams.
Friendship 2024 will offer more than just music; it’s a convergence of various entertainment forms.
With a commitment to diversity and exploration, the cruise invites attendees to a holistic community-driven experience, bringing together a diverse range of artists and performers intermingled amongst fans and friends alike.
Setting sail from Miami on January 6th, 2024, the voyage will offer attendees a picturesque journey through the Caribbean, making a stop in Belize for the 24-hour island party at Harvest Caye, before culminating back in Miami on January 11th, 2024.
