Missing moments like these ☀️
Good people, sunshine, and nowhere else to be. The kind of afternoon that makes you slow down, sit a little longer, and soak it all in.
We’re missing our Wind Down fam, but we’re already looking forward to our next reunion and back at work dreaming up the next edition 🧸
If you could add one thing to the weekend, what it be? Let us know in the comments; we’d love to hear your input!

We miss you already, Wind Down fam 🫂💜
Last Thursday, we opened the gates and welcomed you in. Somehow, a whole week has already passed, and we’re looking ahead to next year.
The little moments, the people you met, the laughs, the late nights, the things you didn’t plan for but will remember anyway.
What’s one moment you’re taking home with you from this year’s Wind Down? ✨

Thank you, to the people who brought The Wind Down to life 🌈
So much of what makes a weekend like this special happens behind the scenes. Early mornings, long days, late nights, problem-solving, laughter, teamwork and countless little moments of care.
To our staff, crew, volunteers, dancers, A/V techs, artists, builders, vendors, Kids Zone operators, grounds caretakers and everyone who showed up and gave a piece of themselves to this weekend: we’re so grateful for you.
Thank you for believing in what we’re building, for looking out for one another and for helping create a place where families, friends and community can come together 🩷
We couldn’t do this without you!
Looking forward to doing this all over again with you all next year. Thank you 🙏

As another festival season comes to a close, we’re carrying a whole lot of gratitude with us 💕
Thank you to everyone who joined us at The Wind Down this weekend, and for bringing your friends, families, little ones and loved ones to dance, play, laugh and make memories under the stars.
We’re so grateful for the connections made, the moments that become stories, and the simple joy of being together.
Carry that love and joy with you. Keep play close, keep community at the forefront, and remember that family, in all the ways we find it, comes first 🫂
This is why we do what we do. This is what we live for.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this our most successful Wind Down yet. We can’t wait to gather with you again next year.
Much love, always! 💫

Thank you so much for joining us this weekend. Our cups are full 🫶
A quick heads up for our final afternoon: closing ceremonies at 4pm are moving to the Lakeside Patio for our last send-off together.
As we bring the weekend to a close, please plan to exit the property no later than 6pm tonight.
If you’re driving home, please make sure your designated driver is well rested and sober, bring a trusty copilot, buckle up and take your time getting home safely. And when you make it home, let us know in the comments 💛
What a weekend we just shared, Wind Down family. Thank you for bringing your energy, your laughter, your families and your beautiful weirdness to Labyrinth Lake.
Much love. Until next time! 🫂✨

This must be the place 💛
The place where little feet dance beside big ones. Where old friends find each other again, new friendships start around a campfire, and everyone seems to have a story to tell by the end of the night.
Hold your people a little closer. Let the kids stay up a little later. Dance until your feet are tired. Take the photo. Make the silly memory. Watch for shooting stars. Look around and take it all in. 💫
One more night to be here, together.
Saturday & Sunday passes are still $111. Come make some memories with us.
