Join us Sunday May 4, 2025, 4:00 pm for our Open Beltane Maypole Ritual !!!

Come get your Faery Frolic On! Join with us to celebrate the height of Spring, the greening of the Earth and the magic of life at full bloom! We will dance the Maypole and crown our May "King" & "Queen" in celebration of the generative powers of the Goddess and God and the joy of the unity we share with them.

PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN RIBBON FOR THE MAYPOLE - 18-21 feet (6 - 7 yards) long (1 inch wide satin ribbon tends to work well, please no plastic ribbon), choose whatever color feels symbolically appropriate for you.

It’s a high feast day! Following the ritual we will enjoy a pitch-in meal. For the sake of ease, if your name begins with the letters A-M please bring an entree dish, if your name begins with N-S please bring a vegetable or fruit dish, if your name begins with T-Z feel free to bring a dessert or snack food. Beverages will be provided (water, cider, soft drinks).
