ACTIVITIES
CaveFest • Oct 10-11, 2026
Plus CaveFest Kick-Off Party on Oct 9
Experience CaveFest beyond the stages: guided cave tours, panels, Kids Village, live painters, and a photo exhibit. Relax in the GeoDome lounge and take in its immersive nighttime lightshow. Stop by the Caverns Tavern for draft beer and exclusive merch, or join an a cappella workshop and open cave jam session.

Caverns Tavern & Gift Shop
Enjoy a cold draft at The Caverns Tavern during CaveFest! Located in the gift shop with the big salamander mural, the tavern is the spot to meet up, unwind, and browse exclusive merch. On tap: Caverns Limestone Lager and Wizards Brew, our new seasonal festbier and the official beer of CaveFest. Both are brewed with Manchester’s award-winning Common John Brewing Co. There'll be football on the TV, and the CaveFest Wizard hints there'll be surprises, too.

Sound Bath with HuDost
Immerse yourself in a Sound Bath with HuDost inside Big Room Cave. Let the vibrations of crystal bowls, gongs, and other instruments guide deep relaxation and meditation. Surrounded by the cave’s natural acoustics, this underground experience harmonizes body, mind, and spirit in a truly transformative way.

Cave Yoga
Experience Cave Yoga inside the serene Big Mouth Cave. This popular CaveFest activity invites guests to stretch, breathe, and find calm in the cave’s natural acoustics and ambiance. Bring your own mat and join a rejuvenating session where movement, mindfulness, and the underground setting create a truly unique yoga experience.

Open Cave Jam
Bring your instruments for an open acoustic jam session—no stage, no setlist, just music reverberating underground. All skill levels and acoustic instruments are welcome. Last year’s session even included special surprises from CaveFest artists—who knows who might show up this year?

Camp Caverns Kids Village
Camp Caverns brings the Kids Village to CaveFest, filled with fun activities for young festival-goers. Kids can enjoy face painting, arts & crafts, and games, plus meet Camp Caverns counselors. It’s a family-friendly space that captures the spirit of summer camp right in the heart of CaveFest.

GeoDome at CaveFest
Located in the Campground
The GeoDome at CaveFest is a tent-like retreat to relax during the day. At night, the dome comes alive with an immersive light show, filling the space with shifting colors and patterns for a fully enveloping visual experience.
