Nantucket Wellness Festival Announces 2026 Launch And Community Winter Wellness Event

What began as the Nantucket Yoga Festival (2012–2019) evolved into the Happy Place Wellness Symposium in 2025 and will soon begin a new chapter as The Nantucket Wellness Festival in 2026, continuing its mission to nurture well-being, connection, and community on the island.

In the spirit of winter renewal, The Nantucket Wellness Festival will host a Community Winter Wellness Day this Saturday, January 10, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Dreamland Theatre. This complimentary, one-day event is created in collaboration with The Dreamland and local studios and is open to all members of the Nantucket community.

Designed to energize and inspire, the program will feature offerings from eight local teachers, each sharing a unique experience centered on movement, mindfulness, and meaningful connection. Participants are encouraged to register in advance here, as space is limited.

The full Nantucket Wellness Festival will return to the Dreamland Theatre this summer, June 26–28, bringing together local and global thought leaders, movement instructors, and healthy-living guides for a weekend of inspiring talks, classes, and community experiences. Early-bird pricing for full-festival tickets is available now.

The Nantucket Wellness Festival is co-founded by Dharma Yoga Nantucket and Nantucket Yoga Festival co-founder Joann Burnham, alongside multi-passionate entrepreneur Holly Ruth Finigan.

All Nantucket Wellness Festival programming is presented under Happy Place Events, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, offering seasonal wellness experiences and tools to support the mind, body, and soul.
