New England AcroFest was born from love: love for acro, love for community, and love for the magic that happens when people come together to play, connect, and learn. After years of traveling to train, attend festivals, and meet some of the most inspiring teachers and friends, we wanted to bring that magic closer to home, to share it with our local and nearby communities.
NEAF is not a huge festival by design. We intentionally keep things small and intimate so that people can actually connect. We’ve seen time and again how a weekend-long event can create something special: new friendships, surprise partnerships, and the kind of inspiration that lingers long after the final jam.
We’ve curated a lineup of incredible teachers, people we admire deeply for their creativity, skill, and the joy they bring to acro. We’ve asked them to offer content they’re excited about, not just the same material they’ve taught everywhere else. We’ve built a schedule that celebrates the full range of L-basing: the playful, the technical, the collaborative, the weird, the graceful, the powerful. It’s the style of acro that got so many of us hooked, and we believe it still has so much to offer.
We’re building the kind of festival we want to attend; one that’s fun, welcoming, full of interesting content and opportunities to connect. Whether you come to learn, play, meet new people, or just spend a weekend doing what you love, we hope you’ll find something here that feels like home.
