Overview of Lightning in a Bottle Festival

Lightning in a Bottle is not just a music festival; it’s a celebration of art, culture, and sustainability. 

Held annually in California, this event draws thousands of attendees who come to immerse themselves in a unique blend of music, art installations, workshops, and wellness activities.
