Welcome to Phoenix Rise Events!

Three friends who began their transformations as strangers found each other through the bariatric community, and from that connection, Phoenix Rise Events was born.

We believe no one should go through transformation alone.

Our mission is to build a supportive community where bariatric patients, GLP-1 users, and anyone on a wellness journey can come together to connect, share, and thrive with like minded people who understand.

Our flagship event, Barifest, is not just for individuals who have undergone weight loss surgery; it celebrates anyone who has experienced weight loss, regardless of the means. We believe in the power of togetherness to inspire and ignite personal transformations.

We create an environment where stories of courage and resilience can be shared and celebrated. Located in Bath, we are committed to making this event a memorable occasion for all attendees.

At Phoenix Rise Events, we understand that every personal journey is different, and we strive to honor and uplift each experience. Barifest serves as a vibrant platform for connection, education, and empowerment & friendship by bringing together a diverse range of individuals who share similar paths.

Our festival features a variety of fun, informative workshops, and opportunities for networking, ensuring that everyone has a chance to thrive. With a focus on community and support, we aim to inspire growth and foster lasting connections like ours among participants. Join us as we celebrate commitment to transformation!
