Before I Die Festival 2026
About This Event
Before you die… what do you want to do, say, know, or leave behind?
Welcome to the 2nd Annual Before I Die Festival, a free community event designed to make conversations about death a little easier—and life a whole lot richer.
Through workshops, presentations, music, poetry, reflection, and conversation, we’ll explore what it means to prepare for the end of life while making the most of the life we’re living right now.
You don’t have to be dying to attend.
You don’t have to have all the answers.
You don’t even have to be comfortable talking about death.
Just bring your curiosity.
Come learn something practical. Have a meaningful conversation. Laugh a little. Think deeply. Maybe even check something off your own Before I Die list.
BID Festival 2026 is graciously sponsored by Safe Harbor Legal Solutions, Crave Catering, Anjali Baking Co., Wildflower Funeral Concepts and Life's Fleeting Nature.
