IMAGINE - music & arts festival's theme is "2 days of Love and Music to Change the World", is a celebration of the arrival of the Age of Aquarius. This is the beginning of world change.

In 1969 at the time of the Woodstock - music & arts festival, when the Vietnam war was still raging, hippies sang about the "Age of Aquarius". You probably heard of the platinum selling song the "Age of Aquarius", the correct name of the song is "Let the Sunshine In" by the Fifth Dimension, and was also part of the musical "Hair".

Well, 40 years after Woodstock '69, the Age of Aquarius just arrived on February 14, 2008, but not with much fanfare. At Woodstock in 1969, people sang about the coming of the Age of Aquarius. Now, that the Age of Aquarius has arrived.

Come celebrate the Age of Aquarius with us at the IMAGINE - music and arts festival.

What is the Age of Aquarius? On February 14, 2009, many astrologers worldwide saw the birth of the Age of Aquarius, when Jupiter aligning with Mars in Aquarius. This the the beginning of world change. It was predicted thousands of years ago that the estimated start date of the arrival of the Age of Aquarius would be sometime around the millennium. The time of world change, called the Age of Aquarius, simply means that we are leaving the age of Pisces and entering into the Age of Aquarius. This change in the Age happens every two thousand years - the last one coincided with the arrival of Christ. Major developments - such as science, computers and technology are all signs of the Age of Aquarius. Alternative medicine, astrology, vegetarianism and other subjects previously considered weird are growing rapidly in popularity, and are all subjects associated with the sign of Aquarius. The election of the first black president Obama in the USA is also a sign of change. This Golden Age is suppose to free the minds of ignorance and delusion. Each human being will begin his or her individual journey within, and strive to become the new race of super conscious humans awakening seekers of "truth and the eternal spirit", healing peoples of many tongues and nations in the process. We can still hear the echoes of John Kennedy's call to action and see the vision of Martin Luther King's dream. Before he and his dream were shot down in 1968, he said we as a people "would get to the promised land".The promise land is the Age of Aquarius. The more enlightened members of society will welcome the New Dawn with its emphasis on humanity, kindness, truth, unification of humanity, spirituality and enlightenment. Also, mystically, Aquarius signifies friendship and creativity. Friendship bursts upon us in its most elevated sense, in its most noble aspect — with understanding, collaboration, and fraternity. Love and friendship will have nothing to do with possessing or ego. This is the era of peace, of unity, of love. Come celebrate the Age of Aquarius with us at the IMAGINE - music and arts festival.
