America’s Next Great Cultural Gathering
Eden is a nonprofit arts and media organization building the next generation of immersive cultural experiences. We produce live events, touring performances, and educational programs at the intersection of technology, storytelling, and civic life. Launching nationally in 2026, with a flagship festival in 2027.
2026: Freedom250
America’s 250th anniversary deserves more than a ceremony. Eden’s Freedom 250 program brings a national tour of immersive dome performances and holographic concerts to iconic sites across the country, supported by the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Park Service. Learn More
2027: Institute of The Future + Core Festival
Eden’s permanent home launches in Utah with two anchor programs: the Core Festival, a multi-day immersive arts gathering, and the Institute of the Future, a first-of-its-kind workforce development and creative education program. The Institute is built to produce a new generation of change-makers, creators, and cultural innovators. Learn More
Eden Arts & Immersive Media Festival is a producing partner of the Freedom250 initiative as part of celebrating America @ 250. Eden is serving as a national lead for the Candlelight Concert Series presented in America’s National Parks as part of the official America @ 250 cultural programming, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The Dome
Eden’s portable 360-degree projection-mapped dome theatre travels to national parks and landmark venues nationwide. More than a screening room, it’s a fully immersive environment built for storytelling at scale. Freedom 250 is its first national deployment. This is only the beginning.
Proto Hologram Technology
In partnership with Proto Inc., Eden is deploying volumetric hologram technology to bring historical figures, performing artists, and interactive AI experiences to life on stage. Proto’s technology powers some of our most ambitious programming across both Freedom 250 and the 2027 festival.
Featured Venues
These concerts are designed for spaces where music, landscape, and history meet. We are working with National Parks and landmark outdoor amphitheaters that offer natural acoustics, dramatic views, and existing infrastructure for large-scale performances.
Zion National Park
Mount Rushmore National Memorial
Bryce Canyon National Park
Yosemite National Park
These concerts are more than performances — they are gatherings built around storytelling, reflection, and shared identity, inviting every generation to participate in a national moment of remembrance, celebration, and hope for the future.
Audiences will gather not in concert halls, but under open skies.
Get Involved
Eden is currently raising $10 million in preparation for our 2026 launch.
