syn·es·the·sia (n.)
Synesthesia is a neurological condition in which information meant to stimulate one of your senses stimulates several of your senses. People who have synesthesia are called synesthetes.
The word “synesthesia” comes from the Greek words: “synth” (which means “together”) and “ethesia” (which means “perception"). Synesthetes can often “see” music as colors when they hear it, and “taste” textures like “round” or “pointy” when they eat foods.

2021 Recap

The 2021 event was a pivotal point for the festival. This was the first year that Synesthesia was moved from its original home at Wolf Camp Keystone to its second site, Elk Creek Resort in Piedmont.
Elk Creek proved to be nothing short of a major upgrade; It was a proper grounds for Synesthesia to grow up.
