Attending a festival alone might feel intimidating, but at Stargaze, solo doesn’t mean alone—it means stepping into a welcoming, vibrant, and deeply connected community where friendships, adventures, and even love stories begin. If you've been dreaming of attending but don't have a crew to go with, this is your sign to take the leap!
A Festival Where You’ll Find Your People
Stargaze is more than just a music and camping festival. It’s a space created for queer women, non-binary, and trans folks to feel free, celebrated, and at home. The energy is supportive, inclusive, and filled with people who are open to new connections. Whether you arrive solo or with a group, you’ll leave with new friends, unforgettable memories, and a sense of belonging.

Real Stories from Solo Attendees
Many attendees come to Stargaze on their own and end up finding friendships, partners, and chosen family that last a lifetime.
💜 Sarah’s Story: “I was nervous about going to Stargaze alone. I didn’t know anyone, and I wasn’t sure if I’d feel out of place. But from the moment I arrived, people welcomed me like an old friend. I joined the Singles Camp, and by the first night, I had a whole group of amazing people to dance, laugh, and explore with. By the end of the weekend, I knew I had made lifelong best friends. If you’re thinking about going solo—just GO! It might just change your life.”
💜 Paige’s Love Story: “I had no idea when I signed up for Stargaze in 2023 that I would meet the love of my life. But that’s exactly what happened. I went to the festival for the music, the workshops, and the chance to just be in a space where I felt completely free. And somewhere between the bonfire and the dance floor, I met someone who truly saw me. Now, we’re engaged, and it’s all because of Stargaze. It’s a magical place—if you’re open to it, incredible things can happen.”
💜 Melissa’s Experience: “The weekend at Stargaze was more than just a festival for me—it was a homecoming. I had been struggling to find my place in the LGBTQ+ community, and I wasn’t sure if I would fit in. But at Stargaze, I met people who made me feel seen, heard, and accepted in a way I had never experienced before. The connections I made, the moments of laughter and deep conversation, and the sheer joy of being surrounded by people who just ‘get it’ was life-changing. If you’re thinking about coming alone, know that you will never truly be alone here.”
Four couples have met their life partners at Stargaze. Many others have walked away with deep friendships, business connections, creative collaborations, and personal growth. This is more than a festival—it’s a place where life-changing connections happen.
