Harvest (Michaelmas) Festival
The days are growing shorter, the air is beginning to crisp, and the harvest is coming in. It’s time to gather before the dark fully settles — to share what we’ve grown, face fears together, and remember that light holds even when the nights are long.
Join us for a Michaelmas celebration at Folly & Friends Mustang Sanctuary — an evening rooted in courage, community, and the old tradition of bringing something to the table.
We’ll build a feast together out of what everyone brings in, tell stories around the fire, and take a moment to name the dragons in our own lives — and remember we have what it takes to face them.
What to Expect:
• Stone soup potluck — bring a dish or ingredient to add to the feast (we’ll have a cauldron going over the fire; bring a vegetable or seasoning to throw in, or a dish to share on the side)
• Leaf crowns and crafts making — craft a small token of your own courage, and write down the dragon you’re facing this season
• An impromptu play telling the story of Michael and the Dragon — willing participants encouraged
• Storytelling and poetry around the fire — bring a poem, a story or song you’re proud of, or something you’re ready to release as the year turns
• Apple bobbing, tasting, and cider
• Bonfire all day — we’ll burn our dragons together as the light holds against the dark
• BYOB
• The sanctuary’s mustangs frolicking in the background
Tickets are $10 per person, payable in advance or at the entrance. You’ll also have the opportunity to make an additional donation to the sanctuary and the mustangs who call it home — a meaningful way to give a little something back to the land and its creatures.
Bring yourself and a dish and whoever may need to feel a little less alone in the dark. The light is worth tending.
