Sacred Acre, Alaska’s largest electronic music festival, returns for its fourth year, blending world-class music, immersive storytelling, and a mission-driven call to protect our oceans. Hosted in Ninilchik from September 5–7, this year’s festival promises to be a sanctuary for those seeking both adventure and tranquility amidst Alaska’s breathtaking landscapes. More than just a festival, Sacred Acre is a convergence of sound and sustainability—where the bass echoes the urgency of protecting the Bering Sea from factory trawling and bycatch destruction.

This year’s lineup features a dynamic range of artists renowned for their vibrant performances and profound musical influence. Headliners include globally celebrated multi-genre producer TroyBoi, known for his eclectic electronic bangers and high-profile production credits, and Jade Cicada, fresh off the release of a new EP and national tour, bringing his acclaimed sound design to the stage. They are joined by electronic stalwarts such as Desert Dwellers, Dirt Monkey, and Emancipator, as well as a lively mix of hybrid DJs and live performers, including The Funk Hunters, Lazy Syrup Orchestra, G-Space, Phyphr, and McWavy. The festival will also spotlight rising stars like Meduso B2B MLOTIK and Mantra Sounds, ensuring a richly diverse and inclusive experience alongside a bevy of local and regional artists.

At Sacred Acre, music is just the beginning. While world-class performances light up the stage and bass pulses through the air, the festival’s true passion lies in environmental advocacy—specifically, fighting the devastating impacts of factory trawling. Through immersive experiences, educational workshops, and direct action, every attendee is invited to help protect our oceans and preserve the delicate balance of our ecosystems. Sacred Acre is about creating real change through music, art, and collective engagement.
