Charleston’s Homegrown Wellness Festival Returns May 2 at Firefly Distillery
Charleston, S.C. — Presale tickets are officially on sale for LiveWildFest 2026, Charleston’s homegrown health and wellness festival, returning May 2, 2026, at a new venue, Firefly Distillery (4201 Spruill Ave., North Charleston). For a limited time and in limited quantity, guests can secure presale tickets for $79 beginning January 8 at 11 a.m., offering the lowest price available for the event.
Presale pricing will be available through January 13, and general admission tickets will increase to $89 starting January 14. The annual festival brings together movement, mindfulness, music, and community for a full day of wellness-focused experiences in an inclusive, celebratory environment.
A One-Day Festival for Movement, Wellness, and Connection
LiveWildFest is designed to help attendees discover, experience, and connect — whether through yoga, breathwork, live music, high-intensity fitness, pilates, cycle classes, meditation, or workshops led by a mix of Charleston-based instructors and special guest leaders from beyond the Lowcountry. The 2026 festival brings together voices and movement styles from both local and visiting wellness professionals, creating a dynamic and well-rounded experience.
With a focus on joy, self-discovery, and community, LiveWildFest welcomes people of all backgrounds — from Charleston and across South Carolina to visitors traveling in from out of state — to celebrate wellness in an inclusive, welcoming environment.
“When we began creating what is now LiveWildFest, we had no idea it would evolve into something so grand,” says Kelsey Harrison, co-founder of LiveWildFest. “This festival is an experience you won’t want to miss. It is an opportunity to discover something new, to step out of your comfort zone, to have a day of play and joy, and to connect deeper to yourself and your community.”
What’s New For 2026
Music Headliner: HAYLA
LiveWildFest 2026 will close the day with a live music celebration featuring HAYLA as the festival’s official headliner. Known for her powerful vocals and global presence in electronic music, HAYLA has collaborated with artists like John Summit, deadmau5, Kaskade, Kygo, and MEDUZA, performed at major festivals including Coachella, and achieved chart-topping success across Billboard and SiriusXM. Her performance will serve as the final, joy-filled moment of the festival, bringing the community together through music, movement, and shared energy.
Special Guest: Heather Morris
LiveWildFest is also welcoming Heather Morris as a special guest for 2026. Best known for her role on Glee, as well as appearances on So You Think You Can Dance and her work as a former backup dancer for Beyoncé, Morris brings a dynamic blend of performance and movement to the festival. At LiveWildFest, she will lead a dance-to-workout experience, teaching a high-energy routine and transforming it into a full-body workout designed to get guests moving, sweating, and celebrating together.
