TomorrowWorld makes its return to the beautiful Chattahoochee Hills just outside Atlanta, Georgia this weekend for their second edition of what we believe is without a doubt one of the best festivals in the world. 140,000 pioneers made the journey from all corners of the globe to last year’s inaugural edition, many of whom camped under the stars together in Dreamville creating one-of-a-kind memories together for 4 days and 3 nights. If you’re as excited as we are for TomorrowWorld’s return, wondering whether or not this is the festival for you, or just plain curious to know what all the fuss is about, we’re going to give a few reasons why you don’t want to miss out this year.
