Our Mission Statement:
|
The Maryland Faerie Festival celebrates the Faeries. We provide entertainment and an atmosphere
inspired by Faerie folklore and literature, and, of course, by the Faeries
themselves. Using the mythos and imagery of the Faeries, we encourage love,
cooperation, peace, harmony, and respect for all beings, along with a pinch of mischief! The
Maryland Faerie Festival provides educational and outreach opportunities for groups
promoting diligent stewardship of Nature, and sponsors artists, merchants and entertainers
inspired by the Faerie tradition.
