High Ground Music Festival set to Unlock a New Dimension in Denver

There must be something in the Denver air that lifts those festival vibes a mile high. It's something the Revelers of the Colorado festival scene can't really describe, thus you have to experience it to truly understand. In other words, you can't get a contact high off of these palpitations - you have to inhale and hold it in! With that in mind, if you're looking to score some of that dank energy, you're in luck. The High Ground Music Festival is making its inaugural run this weekend at Levitt Pavilion and Levitate Events is ready to dab you into another dimension.

Obviously, the underlying theme that initially materializes is that this is just another gimmick to finesse party people out of their snack food savings. To the contrary, High Ground Music Festival is a hybrid plant infused with emotion and cultured for mass distribution. A quote from Noah Levinson, CEO of Levitate and mastermind of the event, describes the moment he lit up those intentions and put them in rotation...

"High Ground began as a 'high-dea' when we passed a joint around while discussing the importance of live music. As a seasoned festival-goer and event producer, I explained my desire to create an experience that pushed against the grain of electronic events by offering a chill and vibey solace that embraced a more laid-back, lower-pressure environment. A festival for stoners..."

Beyond this, It pays homage to the sanctity of Colorado's sprawling environment and the spirits of its native inhabitants. As the smoke clears, you'll find deep and meaningful motivations nurturing these seeds of thought into fully crystalized buds. And if that isn't enough to stimulate your mind, check out the official teaser trailer below.

Prepare to Experience the High Ground Dimension

High Ground Music Festival promises a new kind of festival experience that in the words of Levinson, "...embraces all things chill and vibey." Clearly, this is in no way just some stoner pow-wow and acutely more like a finely-tuned sensory adventure. Do not plan on simply getting blazed and slow-bopping to some chill sounds- Rather, it's time to activate the true Reveler within. Furthermore, be sure that all preparations are in order because Colorado's spirit animals: the black bear, elk, and grey wolf, await you in the High Ground Dimension.

"These spirits offer messages that form the pillars of our High Ground community. At High Ground, we love each other and focus on the progression of ourselves as individuals and as a community."

While seeking out what surprises lie in wait for you at HGMF, you'll quickly realize this is its consistent and highly developed motif. Upon announcing the event, Levitate and company make their intentions clear: This event is going to be a whole-ass vibe! Indeed, this quote from their official press release sets the tone for this narrative.

"We do not step onto another field or venue. We step into an entirely different world. Ultimately, our live experiences are about connection: connection with the music, connection with the artists, and, most importantly, connection with each other. We strive for a cohesive atmosphere to inspire connections and profoundly impact our revelers."

From this, it becomes evident that the depth of their efforts at transforming the venue go above and beyond with the primary goal of delivering a distinctive experience. Of course, how successful they'll be at achieving this endeavor remains to be seen. For now, you can obtain further enlightenment on these sentiments and others, by heading over to the HGMF website. In detail, you will find elaborations about all of the amenities, culture, impact, contacts, ways to get involved, an FAQ section, and much more.
