The festival featured open-air beach events, yoga, sound healing, fitness, and immersive performances. It was a bubble festival, and many safety protocols were in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fortunately, EDMTunes reported that there were no cases of fans testing positive for COVID following the event.

“Thank you to our #UtopiaFam for bringing the magic and to @diplo for taking the experience to another level. Can’t wait to reunite soon,” Resnicow exclaimed in a post on Instagram.

Two years ago, acclaimed producer Jake Resnicow had launched Utopia during WorldPride in New York City at the Javits Center with electronic mega-star Kygo as the headliner, who debuted his smash single “Higher Love.” The events raised over half a million dollars for LGBTQ+ charities.

During the COVID-19 pandemic and via the Utopia LGBTQ+ Festival, Resnicow raised in excess of $22,000, in an effort to provide life-line grants to LGBTQ+ nightlife workers that have been affected by the pandemic.
