THANK YOU, FERN FAM. 🌿

A huge thank you to everyone who locked in their spot for Fern Fest SIX during our early ticket drop — and especially to SO many of you who grabbed the Duo Pass to bring a first-time Fern with you.

Watching this little q***r village grow through you is pretty damn special!

Missed the drop? Tickets will be back in spring 2027!

And we have been known to get a little spontaneous! Join the Fern mailing list so you never miss an announcement or…discount code. 👀

For now: start the group chat. Dream up the campsite. We’ll see you in the woods. 🌿

Fern Fest FIVE. ✨🌿

It’s hard to put this week into words.

We sang beneath the full moon.

We lingered around the community fire, making s’mores and spending hours in camp chairs with new friends.

We danced until 2 a.m.

We tried on new expressions of ourselves.

We remembered why spaces like Fern are sacred — and why they deserve to be celebrated, protected, and nurtured.

There were workshops that stretched our hearts and minds, sapphic slumber parties, the inaugural Kings of Fern drag king show, and the beautiful growing of chosen families.

Whether you arrived in glitter, leather, lace, or flannel, we hope your week in our little q***r village in the Michigan woods was exactly what your spirit needed in this moment.

Thank you to every artist, volunteer, ASL interpreter, workshop leader, vendor, sponsor, crew member, and camper who poured your heart into making this week what it was.

Five years in, our roots are running even deeper…and we’re just getting started!

Fern Fest SIX is officially on the horizon. 🌿 Dates coming soon!

P.S. Want to help Fern keep growing? 🫶 If you had a magical week, we’d love for you to share it. Post your favorite photos, stories, and memories, tag us, and we’ll be resharing throughout the week!
