Merry
meet good friends, the time
for celebration is near.
Gather ye cloak and finest garb,
to feast with friends from near
and far.
Raise ye tankard, raise ye mug,
to honor the Great King Sol.

Every
June, The Sisters of the Moon, a local coven, hosts a festival to celebrate
the summer solstice. This is a medieval costumed event with many
people dressed in garb, some coming as lords and ladies, some coming as
fairies and woodland creatures, many as warriors. The sisters
of the Moon try and make this a fun, safe event for the whole family.
We have games and activities for both young and old. We also have
places for people to camp.
On Sunday morning we will have an open circle to conduct a midsummer ritual for all who wish to participate. If you are interested in attending this year's
festival (on 6/23), please
Things to Remember to bring to the festival: A musical instrument (drum or simple instrument)
