Welcome Summer Festival 2027
A one-day gathering for the pagans of mid-Michigan, with vendors, workshops, a community meal, and a main ritual.
We started this festival to rebuild connection after the pandemic. Five years later, it's become one of the ways we remember we're not alone.
We built this because we missed each other.
Welcome Summer Festival started as a community rebuild. After the pandemic, a lot of us were disconnected—from our friends, our circles, our chosen family, and the simple feeling of being seen.
So we made a day for it.
A day where you can wander, learn something, bump into people you know, and meet people you don't yet. The kind of day that reminds you that the world is bigger than it feels when you're isolated.
Pride Month. Chosen family.
Same thing, honestly.
We hold Welcome Summer Festival at the start of Pride Month on purpose.
Because we're here. Because we take care of our own. And because in this community, we choose who our family is—with love, with consent, and with our whole heart.
If you're an "involuntary solitary"—someone who believes in community but hasn't found it yet—this is one of the doors in.

The Community Meal
For the last two years, we've added something simple and powerful: a community meal.
Not a potluck. Not "bring your own and hope for the best."
A meal provided for the community, so we can share the space of eating together like humans are meant to.
Sometimes the most magical thing we do is sit down at the same table.
Come back into the web.
Whether you come for the vendors, the learning, the ritual, or just to remember what it feels like to be around your people...
