On Sunday, September 15, 2013, magical traditions from all over New England will gather together on the field at Bradley Palmer State Park to connect with the powers of Mother Nature. Participants of this family-friendly event will enjoy educational workshops, entertainment, children's activities and the bewitching wares of many vendors and craftspeople. Admission will be a donation of non-perishable food.
The Pagan Pride Project is a global non-profit organization dedicated to the elimination of prejudice and religious discrimination through education, activism, charity and community.

Pagan Pride attendees have donated thousand pounds of food and goods to local food banks, women's shelters, animal shelters and other charities. In addition to the material collections, Pagan Pride events also raised thousands of dollars in cash donations for local and regional charitable causes.

Over the past 10+ years, Pagan Pride attendees have donated several tons of food to the Merrimack Valley Food Bank.
In 2009 alone, you helped raise over a TON of food!
"We just picked up the donations today, and we are so appreciative of the outpouring of generosity of the festival ... the total of the food donations is 2,007 pounds!
We estimate the average weight of a meal is 1.3 pounds, so the attendees donated approximately 1,544 meals to the residents of the Merrimack Valley."

Let's keep the momentum going in 2013!
