Winter’s finally over and, with that, Love Fest Events is warming up too. We’ve got so many fun things blooming that we can't wait to share. Here's what’s coming up.
Countdown to Southwest Love Fest ⏰🌵
The countdown is on. We’re just over a month away from Southwest Love Fest, happening May 1–3, 2026 in the Phoenix area. We’re bringing you another transformative weekend of connection, learning, play, and celebration of relationship diversity in all its forms.
Just a taste of what you can expect:
- Explore the intersection of trauma, kink, and non-monogamy with practical tools for safety, boundaries, and trust
- Learn how to build emotionally attuned, secure relationships using vulnerability as a strength
- Navigate hierarchy vs. equality in non-monogamy and how to balance time, priorities, and partners
- Reimagine your polycule through a D&D-inspired lens of teamwork, roles, and shared story
- Learn how to create more inclusive, accessible spaces that truly center marginalized bodies
- Feel comfortable negotiating for more meaningful intimacy at our Friday night cuddle party
PLUS: story-driven panels about the messy, human side of polyamory, lightning talks from the community, yoga, intention-setting, art, and much more!
If you haven’t grabbed your ticket yet, there’s still time.
Day passes and sliding scale options will be available next week so everyone has a way in. 💜
Disco After Dark 🪩🌙
On Saturday, May 2, all attendees of Southwest Love Fest are invited to our Disco After Dark, a silent disco where the dance floor spills into cozy lounge spaces, creating room for everything from full-body movement to soft, intimate conversations tucked into hidden corners.
At the door, you’ll choose a color-coded glowing signal that reflects your comfort level with finding new dance partners, helping keep the energy playful and flirtatious while honoring what makes this community special: clear communication, respect for boundaries, and consent.
Come dressed to express and wear whatever feels most like you (as long as it's street legal). Plus, attendees will be able to contribute their favorite tracks to the community Spotify playlist!
Stay tuned for more details!
Want to get involved?
Want to be part of the magic, not just attend it?
Whether you want to volunteer, take the mic for Lightning Talks, share your art, or contribute to our community clothing drive, there are so many ways to plug in, meet people, and help shape the experience.

Midwest Love Fest 2026
We're looking for amazing facilitators to make this year's conference transformative. If you know someone who has a gift for bringing people together, helping them create connections, and guiding engaging experiences, please encourage them to apply.

We are also seeking diverse approaches to engagement, using many senses, not just auditory or visual, but also somatic experiences, body movement, artistic, etc.
Applications are open until Sunday, May 3, 2026.
