May 2nd - 4th

Join us for a three day festival celebrating the many forms of Love.

The vision for this Festival of Love started years ago, and we're very excited to bring it to the community, especially this year. We could all use some extra Love right now. Our Love is what will keep us together, moving forward, persevering and supporting each other into the better future we still work towards manifesting.

This Festival will be a celebration of the many forms of Love we share and experience as humans, including celebrating Queer Love, and specifically representing 13 forms of Love, with deities from multiple pantheons from around the world. Offerings of these many forms of Love will be given and shared with the community, recognizing that our hearts and souls seek to give and receive and experience Love in so many ways.

This Festival is intentionally inclusive and intersectional and will give us all the opportunities to feel, give, receive and share these Many forms of Love, or perhaps for some of us to focus on the forms of Love we most need connection with right now.

This Beltane will be family-friendly, while also having an adults-only Tantric Temple space.

We will also have accommodations for accessibility needs for our Elders and those with disabilities, including an ADA porta potty, and a covered outdoor living room space in the main field for those who need a comfy place to sit and rest, while still being in the center of the fun and activities.

We are looking forward to seeing your beautiful faces at this festival, and bringing Love in its many forms to the community this year.

Our Beltane location for this year is at Camp Cedar Ridge again, just down the road from us! Learn more: https://campcedarridgeor.org/ 

Covered by trees in the gorgeous coastal range of northern Oregon, Camp Cedar Ridge is a year-round facility located about 45 minutes from Portland, in Vernonia, Oregon.

Campers will want to bring plenty of the necessities to ensure their stay is comfortable and relaxing. There is plenty of tent camping and vehicle camping available and all camp sites are first come first serve, we do not reserve camp sites. The specific use policies will be listed in the festival welcome packet, along with a detailed map of the site.
