“20 years ago, a lightning bolt struck and sparked something far greater than anyone could have ever anticipated,” the festival shared in a press release. “Do LaB have created a legacy from the ground up since – one with a loyal community of free spirits chasing the imaginative, boundary-breaking rush felt at its very first celebration. Now it’s time to come together to set the tone for the next 20 years.”
