The largest annual kirtan gathering in North America — a weekend of immersive, meditative music that cultivates peace and unity. May 22–25, 2026 · New Orleans.
Held annually over Memorial Day Weekend, Sadhu Sanga welcomes 3,000 to 4,000 people from across the United States for immersive, meditative kirtan — the call-and-response tradition of song and chant.
Alongside live music, guests share in yoga and meditation, plant-based cuisine, talks on philosophy and wellness, and the simple joy of a like-minded community gathered in one place. It is one of the defining gatherings of the kirtan movement in North America, featuring a celebrated international line-up of kirtan artists.
The 13th annual retreat takes place over Memorial Day Weekend, May 22–25, 2026, for the first time in New Orleans, Louisiana, at the Hyatt Regency. Registration is handled through the Sadhu Sanga mobile app — see the retreat site for room options, day passes and details.
