Summit Session 03 – Dance for the Planet
🌎🪩 Sunday, August 31 | Mt. Philo State Park | Charlotte, VT

Join us for the third edition of Summit Sessions: a zero-impact, leave-no-trace dance party on top of a mountain. Powered by solar energy, fueled by music, and surrounded by nature, this is a chance to connect with community, dance freely, and celebrate Vermont’s natural beauty.

👣 A leave-no-trace gathering with positive impact only

🎧 DJs: Matt Payne, Benny Shreds, + more
