Envision Festival’s 10-Year Celebration

The excitement grows as Costa Rica’s Envision Festival prepares to celebrate its 10-year anniversary amongst the exotic jungle and immaculate beaches of Rancho La Merced near Bahia Ballena, Uvita, coming up February 17-24, 2020.

The beautiful evolution of this event over the last decade has 2020 looking to be the most outstanding year yet with a new opportunity for a 7-day immersive experience and the release of highly anticipated headliners. Along with other recent international and local musical talent, workshop, and excursion announcements, Envision Festival 2020 is truly shaping up for some next-level activation.

The 2020 Envision Festival Lineup

When the beach becomes your dance floor and the jungles become your discoteca, you know you’ve found your new favorite festival. Whatever music Envision Festival puts on their lineup, you know the artists will bring community and positivity to their sets.

For their 10-year anniversary, Envision Festival blends together genres from around the globe. The big headlining names lineup nicely beside the local musical innovators in Costa Rica and across Central America, sure to create the perfect soundtrack for this majestic setting.

The 2020 lineup includes headliners Rüfüs Du Sol, Tipper, Nahko and Medicine for the People, CloZee and Monolink. The festival will showcase over 50 musical acts spread across 3 stages, each created with natural materials from the local area and each bringing music with its own unique style.

The Jungles and Beaches of Costa Rica

For the 6th year in a row, Envision Festival will be held at Rancho la Merced, near Uvita, Costa Rica. Attendees will love the short 2-minute walk to the amazing surf at Playa Hermosa, but will be in awe of the native jungles surrounding the festival grounds. Watching sunsets on the Costa Rican coasts will truly be a highlight of this Central American festival experience.

Pura Vida means “pure life” in Spanish, and it is a Costa Rican philosphy that encourages people to slow down and enjoy life. It means living life to the fullest, and it can be felt throughout the rainforests, oceans and jungles surrounding Envision Festival.
