our 2026 theme is…

A return to what grounds us.

Sacred Roots is about connection.

To the land beneath our feet.

To the people beside us on the dancefloor.

To the music that moves through us.

To the shared experience that can only exist here, in this place.

To the community that has shaped Paradise.

Under the midnight sun, we come together in Kettley’s Canyon on Marsh Lake, carried by the black sand, flowing canyon waters, forest air, and the energy of the North. This place has long been shaped by water, land, and movement.

Every step, every beat, every shared moment is part of something larger, woven together like roots beneath the surface. Sacred Roots honours where we come from and how deeply we’re connected to one another.

• This year is about grounding instead of rushing.

• Depth instead of surface.

• Intention instead of spectacle.

It’s about the unseen systems that make everything possible. Like mycelium spreading beneath the forest floor, to mineral veins carrying energy through stone, and copper and gold wiring powering the sound that brings us together. An underground current. A shared pulse.

We gather with gratitude on the ancestral lands of the Ta’an Kwäch’än Council and the Kwanlin Dün First Nation, and honour the Tagish Kwan as the original people of this area.

HONOUR YOUR ROOTS.

Whether you channel forest spirits, moss and bark, mineral tones and oxidized copper, flowing water, or woven textures that feel hand-made and intentional, let your look reflect what grounds YOU.

• Think earth and ember.

• Veins and vessels.

• Intertwined roots.

• The warmth of firelight.

• The quiet strength of stones, crystals and minerals.

Sacred Roots isn’t about a single tree.

It’s about the forest above and below.

It’s about all of us.

Paradise 2026 is a celebration of community, land, and the deep connections that carry us forward.

Come find or reconnect with your roots.

Come find connection.

Come home.
