Big Ol’ Outdoor Party
films, music, conversations, and dancing
GO Outside Festival has stages filled with music, films, workshops, DJs, conversations and more. We know, it’s a lot to take in, so get out there and WANDER, EXPLORE, & DISCOVER.
Festival Main Stage in Elmwood Park
The Elmwood Park Amphitheater Main Stage, presented by Haley Toyota, sets the scene for an inspiring weekend with Friday’s Mountainfilm Festival World Tour, followed by free concerts throughout Saturday and Sunday. The amphitheater is great for catching up with old friends and also a pretty sweet spot to eat some food (or bring your own picnic). Keep scrolling to see which awesome acts we’ve booked for 2024

DJs spinning tunes to wireless headphones – it’s something you just have to experience to fully understand. Bring your friends and grab a pair of headphones to join the best dance party in town. We’ll be rocking tunes in the Peter Pan playground (upper Elmwood Park overlooking the amphitheater) Friday night from 9-11pm and Saturday night from 8:30pm-11pm. Headphones are given out first-come-first-serve. Please be mindful of those waiting to get their groove on and share the love (aka headphones).
