RISE Festival x Lonely Ghost marks a special collaboration celebrating the 10th anniversary of RISE Festival, the renowned "desert gathering of light, sound, and community featuring GRAMMY® Award-winning headliners and acclaimed visual artists." This limited-edition capsule collection blends elevated streetwear with the symbolic and ceremonial elements of the festival, launching in August through exclusive gifting.
At the heart of the collection is the phrase “I Told The Sky About You,” a direct tribute to RISE’s signature Sky Lantern Ceremony. During this defining ritual, participants write personal messages, hopes, or dreams on biodegradable lanterns before releasing them into the Mojave Desert sky, forming a shared constellation of light.
Complementing the capsule, RISE will also unveil its official 10th Anniversary merchandise line, available exclusively to festival attendees. Together, these offerings honor a decade of luminous skies, meaningful connections, and the integration of fashion with cultural storytelling.
