IEMANJÁ FESTIVAL · 2027
Five days of music, dance, ritual, wellbeing and community by the ocean.
30 January to 3 February 2027
Oceanía del Polonio · Rocha · Uruguay
A GATHERING BY THE SEA
Some gatherings keep beating inside us long after we say goodbye. They remain in the body, in the embraces, in the memory of the fire and in the joy of dancing and expanding together.
Iemanjá is an intimate festival by the sea, bringing together music, dance, art, workshops, healing practices and ritual in the natural landscape of Rocha, Uruguay. For five days, we create a temporary community where we celebrate life with presence, care for the water and make space for listening, play, rest and transformation.
We are an alcohol-free, family-friendly gathering with free water, vegan and vegetarian food and a communal fire. The planned maximum capacity for this edition is 400 people, with care and connection at the heart of the experience.
Come meet the ocean, one another and yourself. The portal is opening again.
Meet us by the ocean. 30 JAN — 3 FEB 2027.
