Festival meets conference meets family reunion
I know for me, I have taken home the most valuable relationships in my life from Anarchapulco. I met my husband at Anarchapulco. So this event is all about being close and loving one another and enjoying each other’s company.
It’s an outdoor jungle venue. Be prepared for the heat. Be prepared for the sun. Think festival meets conference meets family reunion.
The heartbeat of Anarchapulco
It is our Community Support volunteers that make this event possible. A lot of you come year after year. You are so dedicated. You give more time and more energy than we ask of you.
You guys are the heartbeat of Anarchapulco.
That year, in 2018, where I stepped up and I volunteered because I saw a need and I filled the need. I was there as a speaker, the lady doing registration was really frazzled and needed help. And I just stepped up, started alphabetizing and started giving, and then had more and more responsibility as each year went on.
A place for families
For me, when I came in 2018, that was the most magical part of Anarchapulco for me. My children were welcomed in, they were encouraged to attend and participate, and we’ve always had a kids camp, a family camp where people can bring little kids, older kids.
It’s not a drop off program, right? This is something where we participate with our kids.
Let them be kids and have fun and be creative so that they can grow up with that creative spirit in their heart.
