a multidimensional dance party & festival in a seaside arts community
EXPERIENCE SOMETHING REAL
As Above, So Below is a grassroots art and music gathering in Port Townsend, Washington. Each year, a growing family of artists, dreamers, and sonic alchemists come together to build something rare — a community-centered celebration that values vibe over hype, and quality over spectacle.
Born from the spirit that once inspired festivals before the corporate takeover, it remains open-hearted, high-vibe, and deeply intentional — without the ego.
MEMENTO MORI, now in its
7th year
by our DJ crew and
3rd year
as show producers, is a full takeover of
Manresa Castle - a Victorian Mansion turned Abbey turned Hotel. We bring in world class sound to three dancefloors, a number of DJs, producers, and performers from around the area, and create a costume party that has become the stuff of legend around the Salish Sea.
Featuring custom speakers that go to lowest edge of human hearing, multidisciplinary makers and artists, and a smalltown community vibe, we take pride in what we have created, and welcome you into our container.
MEMENTO MORI
comes from the Latin stoic philosophical phrase: 'remember death' - a way to reminding people to remember their own mortality. In doing so, we hope to inspire people to let go of insignificant cares, and live life to the fullest.
