Looking towards the future, Schoenith expressed the Roostertail’s commitment to making this festival an annual tradition. Despite the complex planning and logistics involved in putting together such an event, the Roostertail team has managed to organize it without any sponsorships, relying instead on partnerships with various collaborators to bring the vision to life.
