Are you a ? Do your kids have Pagan friends? Do you wish you had a Pagan kids group to join, but starting one seems like too much work? Sprites & Sparks is for your family.

We provide monthly suggested activities, you provide the children - just yours, or a larger group of children, either way is ok!

Do our suggested activities, or not - flexibility is key here. We'll be scheduling virtual gatherings too, so even if you don't know any other Pagan families, your kids can still meet others with similar beliefs.

- We'll have baskets for the adults too - themed baskets, with raffle tickets for sale. Need not be present to win, because tickets will be for sale online too!
- We'll have a seed and seedling swap - bring some to share, take some new things home with you!
- We'll have a witchy swap meet - $10 for an indoor ~4 foot wide space for individuals/families. Bring those witchy things you no longer want, need, or use, and sell or trade them with everyone else. Registration coming soon.
- We'll have a limited number of indoor spaces for businesses (also small, because space is limited. $25, registration coming soon.
- Outdoor spaces available for free, but who knows what the weather will be like!
- Also, mini workshops are in the works. Want to present? Look for the call for presenters soon.
- And food - we're looking for a food vendor, do you know one?
- And maybe a ritual - we're looking for a ritual leader, do you have any ideas?

We can't wait to see you all there! The event is free, but we suggest you plan to bring a $1-$5 donation for Spiral Moon and a shelf stable food item for Pagans in Need.
