BEFORE I DIE FESTIVAL October 31 & November 1, 2026 We're thrilled to announce the return of the Before I Die Festival! After the wonderful response to last year's inaugural festival, the second annual festival is moving to a larger location. This free community event invites us to explore life's big questions through workshops, presentations, music, poetry, reflection, and conversation. You don't have to be dying to attend. You don't have to have all the answers. You don't even have to be comfortable talking about death. Just bring your curiosity. Come learn something practical. Have a meaningful conversation. Laugh a little. Think deeply. Maybe even check something off your own Before I Die list. Learn more about the Before I Die Festival
