For 2016, Envision will embrace a remarkable 4,700 attendees, an overall increase of just 500 participants from 2015.
Envision Co-founder Matt Siegel explains their sustainable approach to growth, “In 2016, we made the conscious decision to limit Envision’s growth to 500 additional participants. This calculated measure ensures our ability to leave a positive environmental impact at Rancho La Merced and the surrounding communities. Additionally, the attendance limit allows participants to continue to experience the intimate community vibe that is essential to fostering both intra-personal and interpersonal growth.”

Encompassing a cultural movement, a regenerative permaculture vision and a spiritual gathering, Envision evokes a mantra of “partying with a purpose” as one of its core values and in their continued quest to enhance the natural beauty of the surrounding ecosystem, founders have made conscious efforts to ensure that the growth of Envision remains sustainable for both the local community and participants alike. With the growing numbers attending the festival each year, Envision is now able to give back more than ever to the local community.
