As the last echoes of Sacred Acre 2024 fade into the Alaskan wilderness, the excitement for Sacred Acre 2025 is already building. Organizers are thrilled to announce that Early Bird tickets are now on sale for next year’s edition, offering festival-goers a chance to secure their spot at one of North America’s most unique and ecologically conscious music festivals. With tickets starting at an affordable $150, fans nationwide are seizing the opportunity to experience a festival that blends mesmerizing music with an unwavering commitment to environmental preservation.

Situated in the breathtaking coastal community of Ninilchik, Alaska, Sacred Acre has quickly earned a reputation as a must-attend destination for music lovers and sustainability advocates.

A Melodic Experience with a Mission: Sacred Acre’s 2024 Success Story

Last year’s festival was a triumph, boasting a dynamic lineup featuring The Glitch Mob, Moontricks, PEEKABOO, and Dirtwire. This mix of electronic, folk, and bass music played out against the backdrop of Alaska’s largest laser light show, creating a visual and auditory spectacle that attendees won’t soon forget. However, the festival’s true triumph was its focus on sustainability and environmental education. From zero-plastic policies to conservation-themed workshops, Sacred Acre has positioned itself as more than just a music festival—a movement dedicated to protecting Alaska’s precious natural resources.

Attendees were not only entertained but engaged in a range of discussions and activities aimed at raising awareness about critical environmental issues. In one of the most impactful sessions, festival-goers learned about the urgent issue of trawling, a harmful fishing practice that devastates marine ecosystems. “This is a global problem, but its impacts are felt acutely here in Alaska,” explains Miller. In response to recent incidents, including the bycatch of over 2,000 Chinook salmon in the Gulf of Alaska, Sacred Acre’s workshops they have empowered attendees with knowledge and actionable steps to advocate for change.

What truly sets Sacred Acre apart is its unwavering focus on environmental stewardship. As part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability, the festival has pledged to achieve a zero-plastic policy by 2025. All food and drink vendors must use recyclable or compostable materials, while beverages will only be served in reusable metal tumbler cups. Beyond these logistical considerations, Sacred Acre aims to inspire a new generation of eco-warriors through art, music, and direct action.

Hannah Stearns, Assistant Director of Sacred Acre, passionately describes the festival’s ethos: “In nearly a decade of working in the music industry, I’ve never experienced an event where the connection and purpose are so profoundly felt. Every person here is not just attending; they’re part of something bigger—something transformative.” This drive to create a community grounded in intention keeps attendees returning year after year.

Immersive Experiences: Connecting Music and Nature

Sacred Acre isn’t just about the music—it’s about connecting with Alaska’s natural beauty. The festival’s signature ‘Bumping in the Bay’ kickoff party is a perfect example.
