The May Day Fairie Festival at Spoutwood Farm has long been one of my favorite events. Since long before I decided to quit my day job and do what I love! There is so much to do at the Fairie Fest AND it's all Fairie related! There are artists, costumers, jewelers, food, entertainment, and SO MUCH MORE! There is magic at Spoutwood, come experience it for yourself...
The Maryland Faerie Festival
The Maryland Faerie Festival is new this year (2005)! The Chesapeake Pagan Community is putting together their own Festival with the support and help of Spoutwood Farm. I will be vending there this year and am very excited to be a part of the very 1st annual Maryland Faerie Festival! I can't wait to see you there! The 1st Annual Maryland Faerie Fest is over- and it was a fabulous time! They had an attendance of over 1,500 paying guests! The site is magical- it has open grassy areas, sloping hills, wooded glens, a hidden magical "Fern Gully"(and if you find it, it may just bring tears to your eyes), and more! There was a labyrith, tea parties, maypole, greenman parade, music, magic, food, ART! All located at the 4H Center in Upper Marlboro, MD! For next year a 2nd day has been added! Check out their site for details- and I'll keep you posted!
Yorkfest
Yorkfest is a very fun and very artsy Art Festival along the banks of the Codourus Creek in Downtown York. Last year I was body painted in front of my store- The Studio at Central Market House, which is 2 blocks from the creek! There are activities all throughout the downtown area as well as the Galleries and Shops in the Arts District having some fun things going on! (like me being turned into living art!) You'll see artists showing and vending their works- from photography and glassblowers to silversmiths and painters- every genre is in attendance! There is a "Chalk Walk" where art students compete by painting GORGEOUS murals on the sidewalk along Market Street. As well as the Yorkarts Gallery having the jurried art exhibit- Brett Greiman, the artist that painted me, won best in show last year-2004. You may have to do some searching to find info on this site as it looks as if they have not added the current information for 2005. But keep checking back! This year's (2005) Yorkfest is being held the weekend of August 27th and 28th.
