Sacred Harvest Festival first registration deadline July 1

What: Sacred Harvest Festival
Where: Harmony Park, just north of Albert Lea, Minnesota
When: August 7-15, 2010
Web: harmonytribe.org

Spring is here, the days are warmer, and we can practically taste the
coming of summer. That means that many of us are beginning to think about
the upcoming summer Pagan festivals, including Sacred Harvest Festival!

Sacred Harvest Festival is the largest Pagan festival in Minnesota, and
one of the largest family friendly Pagan festivals in the nation. This is
a festival so engaging that people have actually moved to Minnesota to be
closer to the tribe which creates it. It is a festival known for its
wonderful community, moving rituals every day, and it's commitment to its
yearly theme.

This year's theme is "Seducing the Muse". That means that this year the
rituals, choice of nationally known guests, and workshops will seek to
empower the inspiration and artistry of those attending. This should be a
year of creative expansion at Sacred Harvest Fest.

The first registration deadline is July 1, so be sure to register early
for the best rate. There are special rates for 3 days, 5 days, the full 9
days, and family discounts.
