project glow continuously evolves
Project GLOW has rapidly evolved since its debut as a celebration of 20 years of dance culture in D.C., born from the creative partnership between local legends at Club Glow and global producers Insomniac Events.
Each year, the festival has grown in scale, production quality, and overall experience, but 2026 promises to be a new chapter. Expect:
- Even more immersive stages and visuals that blur the line between party and art
- Thoughtfully curated artist diversity across genres
- Improved festival flow and amenities including expedited entry options and air-conditioned restrooms with GA+ and VIP ticket tiers
Whether you’re a longtime glow enthusiast or your first festival ever, the experience has been dialed in to feel both epic and welcoming.
One of the coolest things about Project GLOW is its size and vibe. The festival is big enough to attract world class talent and production, yet still intimate enough that newcomers don’t feel lost in the crowd. It strikes that sweet spot and yes, it’s a PLURR crowd!
This will be my fourth Project GLOW, and I don’t plan on stopping that streak. Project GLOW has become a gathering of like-minded people who live for music, connection, and self-expression. Lucky for you, I have an inside scoop on the experience. Watch my vlogs from 2023, 2024, and 2025.
