“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
Mary Oliver
It’s difficult to put into words how much the Womp means to us.
We first attended in 2022 and immediately felt that there was something truly special about this community. This year marked our fourth Womp, but our very first time bringing Mercurius to the festival as a vendor.
In 2024, we missed the festival because we were in New York City on a buying trip, working toward making Mercurius a reality. The FOMO was very real.
In 2025, only a few weeks after opening our doors on 124th Street, the Womp team gave us their blessing to hand out misting bottles, earplugs and flashlights at the festival. We even closed the shop so we could be there.
And this year, we finally brought the shop to the Womp.
Seeing our fans, parasols, hats, clothing and accessories everywhere we looked was the most incredible full-circle moment. These were pieces we had carefully chosen for Mercurius, now being worn, carried and loved by a community that means so much to us.
You showed up for us in such a huge way.
Thank you to everyone who visited our booth, bought something, shared kind words, brought friends by or told us how much you love the shop. Thank you to the Womp team for welcoming Mercurius and trusting us to be part of something so special.
This is exactly why we created Mercurius: to celebrate self-expression, connection, art, music and the beautiful magic that happens when people feel free to be fully themselves.
Our one wild and precious life.
Thank you, Womp family. We love you. 🩷 Song credit: Walk Away by Joluca Video credit: Kiamythos Films - Calgary Documentary and Event Filmmaker Best weekend ever credit: The Womp Music Festival Special shout out to Swirling Starshine ✨️ for everything
