Plan

Interfusion is the largest indoor transformative festival in the US occurring on MLK Weekend bringing together like-minded souls for four days of learning, healing, play and connection. Interfusion provides a holistic opportunity for participants at all levels to explore dozens of practices, from beginners to advanced offerings.

Interfusion Festival will take place at the 4 star Crystal Gateway Marriott Hotel: 1700 Richmond Hwy, Arlington, VA 22202.

While not required for Festival participation, we recommend that travelers consider staying at the hotel to emerge into the complete festival community experience.

No partner is necessary. The community has a vibrant mix of men and women attending. Partnerships are created easily during each workshop and are often rotated multiple times by the instructor to create the best learning environment possible.

Absolutely. The festival has plenty of choices for beginners. Please refer to the full festival schedule before the event and look for offerings marked as “beginner” or “all levels” to plan your experience.

The health and safety of our community is our highest priority. Interfusion Festival will follow all statewide and national health and safety policies. As part of our mitigation strategies, Interfusion has doubled the festival grounds and established a Health and Safety Team (HST) responsible for ensuring the protection of all attendees. Interfusion’s COVID-19 risk mitigation strategies and protocols will be published no later than 90 days before the next Interfusion Festival occurring on January 13 – 17, 2022.

Interfusion is committed to ensuring the safety and protection of our community. In the unlikely event that the festival must be entirely postponed due to the return of heavier COVID-19 related statewide and national restrictions next January, all existing passes will be transferred to a new festival date and receive advanced schedule sign-up access. Interfusion believes this situation is unlikely to occur with the continued implementation and success of the U.S. National Strategy for the COVID-19 Response and Pandemic.

The Interfusion Festival grounds has a capacity for approximately 5,000 persons at one time. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Interfusion is limiting the next festival to 20 percent of full venue capacity with access control systems in place to enforce protection measures outlined by our Health and Safety Team (HST).

All festival tickets sells will close once the 20 percent capacity limit has been reached. In the event that the U.S. reaches projected 2021 vaccination levels and infection rate reductions, the HST will recommend the Interfusion Board of Directors increase the 20 percent capacity limit on festival attendance, in correlation with national and statewide public health measures at that time.
