wavecult presents // IMBOLC PRE-PARTY 2026

Join us in the Ancient World basement as we warm up for IMBOLC—our annual outdoor winter festival! ❄️ This event is not just a party; we’ll be raising funds for the creation of our fourth (and final) iteration of this ethereal, ritual playground.

🎭 PAGAN DRESS THEME

Embrace the Imbolc spirit by embodying your inner Viking, witch, shieldmaiden, or forest spirit! 🌟 Attendees who dress to the theme will be entered into a draw to win a double pass to the festival.

This pre-party serves as an exploration of dark, immersive soundscapes, providing the perfect space to shake off lingering energy from the past year. We’re channeling the intensity of the fire horse and hope to offer a transformative environment through movement, sound, and shared experience.

The central element for Imbolc this year is Water, focusing on the transformative power of surrender and forgiveness. As Imbolc aligns with the Lion's Gate Portal, we invite you to dive beneath the surface with us for an evening of intention and exploration. 🌊

Questions to ponder: If you were to dive into the pool of the unknown, what might you meet in the depths of yourself? What ripples might spread? What waves would carry you beyond the horizon of your imagination?
