Beltane: 'Bright Fire'
While Beltane is now associated with May 1st, the actual astronomical date is a number of days later. The celebrations were marked with the lighting of bonfires and the movement of animals to summer pastures.
Join us in celebration of the beginning of Summer and community on the East Lawn (under the water tower) of Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment.

6:45pm MAY POLE DANCING & DRUMMING
Presented by Ravenwood Meadery
*FREE*
Originally, the May Pole was a living tree. Over time it became a tree trunk of the correct height, age, and species (usually birch or pine). It is said that the tree represented masculine energy, and the ribbons and floral garlands that adorned it represented feminine energy. The maypole is a reminder that spring has sprung and rebirth has begun.
We will be setting up a May Pole on the East Lawn (under the water tower). Ribbons will be provided.
We encourage those who take part in the Irish Drumming Workshop to stay and keep drumming for the may pole dance. All drummers are welcome and encouraged, including beginners!

7:30pm BELTANE FEAST
Ravenwood Meadery
*TICKETED*
After the dancing is over, we will have a Beltane feast at the meadery, planned by Morgan. This is a ticketed event, be sure to sign up ahead of time. Limited seating. Menu and tickets will be released very soon!
