Festival Tips & Schedule

Below is the 2024 schedule for Last Call: An End of Life Festival. Though this is hopefully the final version, we always leave room for adjustments. We encourage everyone to come, stay, explore, and take in all the events of the day even if the posted schedule adjusts. This is a free event. Registration is not required but appreciated. Cheers!

We are very excited to have a new location for year 3! Eden Seminary has welcomed us to their campus and we can’t wait to utilize their beautiful space.
