I recently began working for Lotus Belle Tents as the new Sales and Service Coordinator and was lucky enough to end my first week of work with going to Lucidity Festival in Santa Barbara.

Lotus Belle’s New Zealand owner Jessica Walsh explains how being “festival fabulous” turned into a fulltime career and gives her guide to the globe’s ultimate events.

What The Festival festival review

What better way to launch our first US blog with a festival review! I had heard a lot about What The Festival (abbreviated to WTF) through friends and industry people.
