Digital media publisher We Are Explorers has launched a new three-day festival set to take place from 2nd to 4th May 2025 on the Worimi Country at Reflections Jimmys Beach in Hawks Nest, NSW.

The festival, ExplorerFest, aims to celebrate adventure, nature, and community, inviting attendees to participate in outdoor adventures, interactive workshops, and live entertainment.

The festival is built around three core pillars: Adventure, Inspiration, and Entertainment. Adventure activities at the festival will be led by experts and athletes and will include stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, hiking, trail running, 4WDing, yoga and pilates, surfing, and rock climbing.

The Inspiration pillar will offer a range of workshops, from photography and film-making masterclasses to art workshops, survival skills, weaving workshops, creative writing masterclasses, gear repair, and camp cooking.

Entertainment will include live music, DJs, expert panels, pop-up cinemas, stargazing, and a sauna and ice bath experience.

Accommodation options at the festival will cater to all preferences, including camping, cabins, tiny houses, and spaces for vans and campers.

Global backpack brand Osprey is the presenting partner for the festival, with more integrated event partners to be announced soon. The first release of tickets goes on sale 4th December 2024 and can be purchased at the official festival website.

Founder of We Are Explorers, said, Henry Brydon, said: "ExplorerFest is a physical embodiment of everything we talk about on our platform. From experts to newbies, I can’t wait to see new friends and old connect and celebrate living adventurously in such a beautiful part of the planet. This event is the very essence of what We Are Explorers stands for: getting everyone outside and connecting with nature. It’s mindblowing that this is finally happening!"
