Expect a full day of yoga, breathwork, HIIT, pilates, cycle, meditation and workshops led by a mix of Charleston favorites and guest instructors from beyond the Lowcountry.
Charleston’s homegrown wellness takeover is back.LiveWildFestwill take place Saturday, May 2, 2026, and the festival is leveling up with a move to its new venue at Firefly Distillery, the North Charleston landmark known for its wide‑open spaces, live‑music energy, and ability to host a crowd that actually wants to move. Presale tickets drop January 8-13 for $79, with general admission rising to $89 on January 14. If you’re planning to be there (and you should), the early window is the moment.
LiveWildFest has always been about more than a stacked schedule. It’s about discovering what lights you up. Expect a full day of yoga, breathwork, HIIT, pilates, cycle, meditation and workshops led by a mix of Charleston favorites and guest instructors from beyond the Lowcountry. It’s a choose‑your‑own‑adventure kind of day: sweat, stretch, breathe, dance, reset — whatever your version of “wellness” looks like.
The vibe? Joyful, inclusive and community‑driven. Whether you’re a Charleston local, a road‑tripper from elsewhere in South Carolina, or flying in for a weekend of sunshine and self‑discovery, the festival is built to meet you where you are.
“We had no idea LiveWildFest would grow into something this big,” says co‑founder Kelsey Harrison. “It’s a chance to try something new, step out of your comfort zone, and reconnect with yourself and your community.”
With Firefly Distillery as the backdrop, the festival expands into a larger, more flexible space which means more room for movement, more stages, more workshops and more ways to plug into the day.
