"The Frendly Gathering originated as a way to bring frends from all over the world to one place to share a deep love for music, snowboarding and the outdoors. Historically we used our sport and collective ethos to unite a diverse group of athletes. Within just a few years it became clear that this Frendly movement was meant to transform the lives of people around the world. What started as a 250 person mini-gathering put on by The Frends Crew, has now evolved into a three-day grassroots music festival and a dream come true for us. At the Frendly Gathering, we want our guests to leave the real world behind, enjoy the fruits of nature, listen to music and enjoy the company of frends, new and old. We believe in cultivating lasting frendships that in turn foster collaborative success and stand to rid future generations of exclusivity. We want to help create a “we” generation that is selfless enough to overcome the “me” mentality. We strive to create a lasting environment that is built upon kindness, generosity, and respect." - Frendly Manifesto
