Best of Faerieworlds Summer Restream
Called “mythically magical…an otherworldly event”, the magic of Faerieworlds returns to Eugene for their 20th Anniversary Celebration for three days of extraordinary live music and performance, amazing art and crafts, and fantasy fun for all ages.
Faerieworlds is the premiere mythic music and arts festival on the West Coast. Featuring bands and musicians from around the world, internationally acclaimed artists and authors, spectacular performances and entertainers, Faerieworlds annually attracts thousands of fans and families from around the globe to Oregon to experience the magic of the Realm. For three days and nights, people of all ages are transported and inspired by the enchantment of music and the beauty of things made by hand.
Each day of the event is themed: Friday is Good Faeries Day, Saturday is Bad Faeries Day and Sunday is Family Day.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT FAERIEWORLDS:
“To deal with faeries is not a retreat into fantasy, but a re-engagement with life. To dress as a faerie, donning wings, is to actively join in the dance, to be connected to creative spirit. Art, dance, friendship, music: all these move easily across the boundaries, transcending language, race, and time. Such activities extend a joyful hand across the threshold. At Faerieworlds, we ring the bells of faerie invitation. The people come. More importantly, the faeries come too.” – Brian Froud, international best-selling artist, author and film designer
“Faerieworlds is a festival with a little something for everyone, from toddlers to their grandparents and everyone in between. There’s an energy there that embraces everyone, regardless of their path or tradition, whether they’re dressed as goblins or faeries or in their everyday clothing. There is delicious food and energizing music, and shiny baubles for every taste. It’s like a family reunion with a family you didn’t know that you had.” – Mia Nutnick, journalist
“It was an honor to be included in Faerieworlds this year. My family and I had so much fun (five year old Bella didn’t want to go home and I sort of didn’t either) and we can’t wait to come back next year. After a few very stressful and emotionally draining years that had me seriously considering retiring from being a Faery artist, Faerieworlds was exactly what I needed to restore my passion for my work. Watching the sheer happiness and abandon of the crowds and seeing all of the beautiful unique items being sold by the vendors was inspirational. A little light bulb went off in my head “AAhhhh… this is why I chose this life. Now I remember.”
This is the type of life I want my girls to grow up with. I want them to know that there are other roads we can take. Faerieworlds helps us find those roads again and again.” – Amy Brown, internationally acclaimed artist
