Mindful Drinking Fest was co-founded by Derek Brown, renowned mixologist and wellness coach, and Maria Bastasch, multidisciplinary artist and social wellness advocate. The festival, approaching its fourth year, is dedicated to reshaping the conversation around drinking culture. In partnership with the Adult Non-Alcoholic Beverage Association (ANBA), Mindful Drinking Fest will feature engaging panels, tastings, workshops, and entertainment designed to highlight the growing movement toward mindful drinking.
