🔥 What is Beltane? 

Beltane Fire Festival is a vibrant and immersive celebration honoring the ancient Celtic tradition of Beltane—marking high spring and the coming of summer, a time of renewal & fertility. Our lives are deeply interwoven with the cycles of nature, and this ancient festival invites us step into something older than time - our creative life force. We come together to dance, sing, drum, feast, make offerings, light the sacred fire in the old way, and honor the cycles of life. Through ritual, music, storytelling, and play, we awaken a primal memory in ourselves and in each other.

🌷 Purpose

These quarter year festivals bring us together to remember our kin, and remember our place in the natural world. Beltane has always been about life-force—fertility, vitality, the ecstatic pulse of existence. It’s about renewal, transition, and stepping into the fullness of our being. This festival is an invitation to remember what it means to be wildly, unapologetically alive, and develop relationship with the alchemical element of fire in order to bring forward a truer version of ourselves.. Burning away the old, and calling in the new - just as the natural world does all around us. We come together at this time to strengthen our human family through our shared connection to the elements, and the ancient medicine of song, dance and ceremony - to remind us of these common threads which are woven across all cultures.

🔥 Theme: Igniting the Wild Within

This year we are centering our programming around ancient practices, ones that bring us closer to each other and the natural world. We invite you to unleash your wild one, your organic self, summon your most primal expression and let the spring fire melt anything that is stagnant within you, so you can step forward lit up!

🌷 Expression

Your authentic voice, your movement, and your presence are all medicine in this container and will be encouraged, and celebrated! There’s no right way to show up at Beltane—only an invitation to bring yourself, fully. You might be called to drum until your hands are raw, dance ecstatically, liberate your voice, tell a story that’s been waiting to be spoken, or sit underneath the mighty cedar trees and listen to what stories they have to share with you. We encourage you to get out your favorite outfits and dress to express! Adorn yourselves in any pieces that make you feel connected to your lineage/culture, or perhaps your favorite festival outfit or a costume you create to align with the theme (flowers, fire, forest creature vibes!). Whatever makes you feel most vibrant, authentic and embodied! 

🔥 Responsibility

This is a festival that we all hold, together. Please be present and intentional in how you show up: this means caring for the earth beneath our feet, keeping the fire sacred (not throwing garbage in it), and showing up with integrity - be kind, take care of yourself and each other!! We encourage sober partying or intentionally consuming (legal) plant medicines that you feel connected to in order to maintain a safe space and good vibes for everybody. This is also a leave no trace event, we ask that you leave the land the same as (or better than) you found it. 

🌷 Co-Creation

YOU are what makes this event come alive! We encourage you to bring your music, your voice, flow toys, outfits, your stories, offerings and your fullest expression to co-create the container. From the music, the ceremonies, the games, the unexpected moments of magic—none of it happens without you. Bring your gifts, your wild ideas, your hands and heart. This is not a performance. It’s a weaving.
