Sima Festival is a celebration of winter focused on reflecting, redefining and fostering our individual and collective relationship with the environment. Happening from January 18 to 22, 2023, the festival encompasses art, music, education, community gatherings, outdoor recreation and more.
Happily combined from the powerful words of 'soul' and 'anima', Sima was born to help us connect and celebrate a little more during the dark and cold of winter. It just happens that the word Sima is also the lowest layer of the Earth's crust which connects land and oceans; a stunning image of global connection.
Seizing a seasonal storytelling focus, Sima Festival : Wintering together puts to spotlight on the vital role of art in creating kinship with our community and our environment. We believe a celebration of winter is a starting point in cultivating love and respect for the season, motivating the need for social changes to promote and honor it.
