SoundCastle '26 is in the books, and our hearts are full.

Over two days, we gathered with an incredible community of musicians, makers, artists, volunteers, friends, families, and music lovers to create something that feels increasingly rare: a space built on creativity, connection, and care.

Thank you to the 10 bands who shared their music with such generosity and passion. Thank you to the 16 makers who transformed the grounds with beautiful handmade work. Thank you to every attendee who rocked out, listened, shopped, connected, and helped create the welcoming atmosphere that makes this event so special.

A huge thank you to our volunteers, whose countless hours of setup, coordination, troubleshooting, and teardown made the entire weekend possible. DIY events only happen because people show up for one another, and we are endlessly grateful for everyone who contributed their time, energy, and heart.

In a world that can often feel disconnected, weekends like this remind us why community art matters. Music, creativity, and gathering together remain powerful forces for bringing people closer, creating joy, and making space for both expression and belonging.

Thank you for helping us build SoundCastle together. ❤️
