MAY DAY CELEBRATION!!!

Noon - 3:30pm: Ribbon Making 

3:30pm: Maypole Dance

Our annual May Day Beltaine celebration is a lovely gathering for delightful decorating, dancing and drumming. Merrymaking begins with ribbon and paint on the maypole. Then, the dance commences after calling on the (un)natural world to honor & bless the coming seasons which includes all the exciting new events scheduled for LPV. Bring food, musical instruments, paint,powder, whatever tickles your fancy to share and Cher alike. Beltane, also known as May Eve, May Day, and Walpurgis Night, happens at the beginning of May. It celebrates the height of Spring and the flowering of life. The Goddess manifests as the May Queen and Flora. The God emerges as the May King and Jack in the Green. The danced Maypole represents Their unity, with the pole itself being the God and the ribbons that encompass it, the Goddess. Colors are the Rainbow spectrum. Beltane is a festival of flowers, fertility, sensuality, and delight.
