What is The Revival ?
The Revival is an outdoor gathering for the Black community rooted in rest, remembrance, and celebration. Inspired by the legacy of Black church tent revivals — reimagined through the lens of joy, creative expression, and wellness — this is a day to breathe, explore, move, and gather in nature.
Brought to life by Outside With Recess Village, The Revival is an open-air offering designed to reconnect Black folks to the land and to each other. Come as you are — this is your invitation to reset, reflect, and rejoice in sacred rest and play.
What to Expect
Choose your own rhythm — The Revival is a festival-style experience with ongoing activities and performances throughout the day. Settle into what calls to you.
Live Performances
Throughout the day, enjoy soulful sets from singers, rappers, drummers, and spoken word artists — culminating in a powerful final performance to close us out.
