Beyond the event’s surface-level wholesomeness, the event meets a broader inherent human need. Twins and multiples are a master class in the benefits of societal support — something that non-twins can learn from and apply to their own circles.

“People are very accepting and joyful and happy,” Jane Ireland, an attendee with her identical twin sister Carol, says. “We all have this shared kind of experience of what it’s like to be a multiple.”

The festival is meant to celebrate the uniqueness of being a twin.

According to the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics, just over 3 percent of births yield multiples.
