Description
Equinox and Solstice celebrations at CoSM honor polarities and the alignment of the earth with the sun, crests and troughs in the wave of time -- the longest and shortest days and nights of the year and the two days of balance and equivalence. When we notice the passing of the days, the months, the years, we contemplate impermanence, raising our awareness to the preciousness of life in the here and now.
At CoSM, Celestial Celebrations begin with spoken wisdom on a worthy topic. After the talk and discussion, the audience breaks. Then, look forward to some of the best electronic music, down tempo music, ecstatic dance, a fire circle, and fire spinning. Alex and Allyson live paint along with a showcase of visionary artists. Acrobats, belly dancers, laser light shows, taro readers, palmists, face painters, group sand mandalas have all been part of the rich tapestry, the transformative tableau of uplifting offerings at CoSM Celestial Celebrations.

Dr. Bronner's Magic Foam Experience!
Daytime Transfoamation
12pm - 5pm
Dr. Bronner’s All-One Magic Foam Experience is a team of artists and performers—the Foamy Homies—who dance and blast all-natural foam at community events.
This sensory experience gives participants the freedom to respond by wiggling, screaming, laughing, and yes—washing their bodies.
The Magic Foam Shower is a portable foam shower unit, able to clean thousands in one day using 20% of the water in a home shower. Like a human car wash, participants receive a high-volume, yet soothing-soft foam soap blast, followed by a warm water rinse cycle. Make sure to bring a bathing suit and a towel!
