EDC is the biggest party of the year, and there are many different ways to celebrate. Insomniac’s Consciousness Group provides a sober sanctuary for music fans who are straight edge, recovering, or simply feeling overwhelmed by all the stimulating sights and sounds that EDC has to offer.

Holding regular meetings throughout the day, the Consciousness Group is made up of passionate music lovers who choose to remain clean and sober at the festival. Consciousness Group isn’t affiliated with Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, or any other 12-step programs, and it makes no judgment on others’ decisions related to drugs and alcohol, neither condemning nor condoning their usage. They’re simply liked-minded music fans who gather to offer support and traction in what might otherwise be a slippery environment for sobriety.
Look for the Consciousness Group tent on your festival map when you arrive at the show. Meetings will take place at 9pm, midnight and 3am each night. You can also join their group on Facebook for the most up-to-date news and info.
