Nothing beats ringing in the new year more than a festival. The DJ adjusts their set accordingly, executed perfectly for the countdown. The visuals bend and swirl with the music, making it so that everyone is completely present and focused on the moment. Finally, the clock starts to count down. It hits zero, and confetti blasts through the air. You’re surrounded by friends and strangers bursting with excitement as you rejoice in the new beginings and dance late into the night. And this is only one night of the almost two-week-long festival that is Epizode. You’re in for a treat when you make it to the new year and realize you still have seven full days of partying ahead of you.

Epizode rescheduled its fifth anniversary celebration for the second time, pushing the dates back to December 28th, 2022 – January 8th, 2023. This decision comes after careful consideration of the ongoing pandemic. 

When the first push back happened in 2020, Epizode provided its ticket holders with the option of keeping their ticket and gave everyone a bonus multi-pass ticket, free of charge! Good things do come to those who wait. 

While it currently doesn’t look like 2021 ticket holders will get an extra ticket, they do have the option of keeping their current ticket and using it for the 2022 edition. But if you don’t already have a ticket, this second reschedule only gives you more time to buy one, plan accommodations, and mentally and physically prepare for the 24 hour, 12-day event.
