BLISS Sacred Sound Fest 2026: Full Schedule, Lineup, and Where to Find Rius Water
Something shifts when people gather in a Colorado orchard to listen. For one weekend in August, sound becomes the medicine, the field, and the language everyone speaks. BLISS Sacred Sound Fest returns, this time to the Wild Cider in Longmont on August 14 to 16, 2026, and this year Rius Water will, providing structured water for everyone who comes through.
We are bringing our water to this gathering because the community already understands what we are about. People who chant, breathe, move, and sit in stillness tend to notice the things most of us rush past. The way water feels. The way a moment lands in the body. If that is you, come find our table. The water is for everyone.

Find Rius Water in the garden
Rius Water is a Colorado structured water company. Our whole reason for existing comes down to three words: feel the difference. We do not ask you to take that on faith. We hand you a cup and let your own senses decide.
At BLISS we will be pouring structured Rius water for the whole gathering. Stop by between sessions, after a sound journey, or on your way into the tents. Have a drink, take a breath, and notice.
A festival weekend is exactly the kind of moment our water was made for. The long mornings of chant and movement. The afternoon stretches in the sun. The quiet space between one session and the next. Water belongs in all of it. If the water moves you and you want to carry that feeling home, come talk with us about the Charging Chamber and how structured water fits into a daily practice. No pressure, just a conversation and a cup.
