Festivals like the Beloved in Oregon?

I'm hoping to find some suggestions. I loved Beloved more than anything, and they shut it down for really good reasons. I'm hoping to find something similar.

The main highlights for me:

  • One stage. I find the music bleed from multiple stages really jarring
  • Ability to set up a hang out space in front of the stage. I loved the Beloved hill. Could just hang out, sit, socialize, dance right at your own spot, or go down to the dance stage for dancing
  • Overnight party straight into sunrise sets, a curated and shared experienced
  • A variety of musical genres. I discovered folks like Griz, Emancipator, Desert Dwellers, Beats Antique, Polish Ambassador. Also Rising Appalachia, Sara Tone, etc.
  • Live painting
  • Interactive experiences & workshops
  • Connected: people talked, made eye contact, and open camps
  • Forested and no security between festival and camp; camping was part of the festival itself
  • On the smaller side

I'm open to anything on the globe, but live on the East Coast and drivable is nice; otherwise something with pre-set tents or glamping options would be truly helpful

I've been to Elements the last 2 years, and now freshly home determined it is not my scene

Any recs? Thank you
