After over a month of traveling this summer, team WOLI is gaining momentum towards recognition on the festival scene. 
As each event maintains a unique vibe, we're finding that our fans range from all ages, all kinds, and in all places! 

The Camp Bisco crowd may have been the most welcoming yet, as everyone who rode the wheel rocked their "I got high on WOLI" stickers the rest of the weekend! Positive feedback all around... thank you all for encouraging our growth!

This weekend, among the thousands of people and so many vendors, we still stood out, as the wheel shined bright until sunrise every single night! The line stayed filled up with smiling faces all night long. 

Meanwhile, the SPIRIT girls and team WOLI drew a crowd with their vibrant display. We met so many talented and driven people who complimented our work. Big thanks to the massage ladies-- we couldn't have asked for a better trade! ;) 

With Shred-It Apparel, Play All Day, and WOLI merchandise beaming throughout our shop, we were glad to hand over our freshly-created products to our grateful customers. Walking around the festival grounds, we were so excited to see our stickers and hand-made creations being sported by our fans. 

Team WOLI was able to catch some great music despite the business; we danced our hearts out together at Umphrey's Mcgee, STS9, Bassnectar, Lotus and of course the DIsco Biscuits.. HUGE thank you to the artists, vendors, and the fans for producing such an extraordinary celebration along our summer tour.

Now, we're preparing for the Gathering of the VIbes in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Expect to see some new flower and feather crowns, up-cycled clothing, and a whole lot more! Check out our online shop if you can't make it to the festival. 

See you all on the road!!

Justice and WoLi tearing up the last night at #wavefrontmusicfestival
Team WOLI set up in front of the Ferris Wheel and introduced our hand-made one of a kind items to the festival scene and the response was amazing. Not only did we almost sell out of the items we made before the festival, we sold almost everything we made on the spot. Our customers truly appreciated our unique items, and we had so much fun making them to order. Check out the WOLI Marketplace to see some of our creations!

Thousands of people enjoyed the splendor of one of the most well known landmarks in Bonnaroo history, as the giant gondola ferris wheel ran throughout the day and night. Whether you gazed down at the crowds from the top of the wheel or enjoyed the LED lights from afar, WOLI brightened up everyone's Bonnaroo experience in a special way! Check out some of these awesome instagram photos taken by some of our new followers! 

I Got High on WOLI!
Bonnaroo was the perfect place to kick off the "I got High on WOLI" marketing campaign. Team WOLI had the opportunity to talk to thousands of people about our plan to change the world and spread a positive message through visual arts, flow arts, and other creative outlets. We gave all of our new fans and followers the official "I Got High on WOLI" sticker in hopes that they will continue to engage with us this summer as we travel around the country. Most everyone loved the play on words, and overall the brand and the concept was well received by all. 

I got engaged on WOLI!

We weren't kidding that a lot of special moments happened on the Wheel of Lights at Bonnaroo 2013!  WOLI rider Theresa Gravlin SAID "YES!" when her fiance popped the big question at the top of the ferris wheel! 
"This year Bonnaroo 2013 marked my 5th year on the farm with my amazing boyfriend. We have been on the Ferris wheel every year. This year was most special...he proposed!  I want to thank you for making those memories possible. If it weren't for you, how else would we have seen those amazing views of the entire farm or shared that perfect moment together?! "
-Theresa Gravlin

Team WOLI takes the Spotlight!
Although our team was unable to vend or perform this year, we made sure the Bonnaroovians that stood in line for the ferris wheel got to experience what we are all about! The Spirit Hoop Troupe showed off their skills throughout the weekend, and mural artist Ania Amador closed out Sunday with a live painting session in front of the wheel! Did you see us at Bonnaroo?

The view of Juno Beach from 90 feet!
WOLI was on Juno Beach this weekend in Jupiter Florida for OceanFest! OceanFest was a sun and fun filled weekend on a beautiful beach with vendors, artists, and activities for all ages - from riding WOLI to playing on the bungee jump and climbing the rock wall. Sandcastle artists worked for two days to sculpt the perfect coral reef scene, and athletes competed in surfing and sand volleyball contests. 

WOLI is getting ready for our Summer 2013 tour, which includes Bonnaroo, Camp Bisco, Thunder on the Mountain, Kah Bang, Tomorrow World, and more! We hope to see all of you this summer!
