In 2010 we have so much to celebrate! After 10 years, we’ve taken the leap and have found a larger home! We also celebrate the continuation of the oldest Pagan festival in Virginia where we revel in the seasonal change and the ancient mysteries! Then there’s the sheer delightful joy of camaraderie with friends old and new!

For those that love details, here’s a bit more about us... Some years back (1995?), a group of Central Virginia Pagans started this festival as a way to honor one of the Neopagan major sabbats (holy days). Blue Ridge Beltane has evolved over the years, and with that evolution, many different flavors of Pagans have stepped forward to help the festival thrive. Since Beltane means so many different things to so many different people, Blue Ridge Beltane embraces as many Pagan beliefs as possible, and always welcomes new paths and ideologies.

Over the years groups have hosted rituals exploring the paths of African, Celtic, Druidic, Hindu, Native American, Reclaiming and Wiccan. (*Please note that this is only a sampling of the many available philosophies to be experienced.)

Each year people find enlightening workshops, a variety of rituals that explore different Pagan principles, Pagan oriented entertainment and events for every age group. What we can guarantee, is that Blue Ridge Beltane Festival is generally blessed by the precipitation gods (bring a poncho!) and that you will have the time of your life!

All you need to do is Register! To increase the benefits of your participation you can also volunteer or contribute.

Blue Ridge Beltane 2010 is expecting very special guests and they’re ones that you know and love, but might not see around all that often...The Green Man and The Green Lady. Our lusty ones of the green will embody the spirit of the divine green couple, including leading us in a costumed parade across the land which will end at the Lynchburg Tribal Bellydance performance. Stay on for costume judging and Dance Party! Come prepared to let your own Green Thing loose!

Rumor has it that The Inner Sanctum will again celebrate the beauty, magick and mystery of sensuality within the confines of adult only space!

Don't forget to bring a can of food for the Third Annual Blue Ridge Beltane Food Drive!
