Pagan Picnic

Hands of Change announces our

 

21st Annual Pagan Picnic
August 4th, 2018

 

Mercer County Park’s Princeton Country Club Picnic Area

It’s time again, for the pagan picnic! If you have been to our picnic before we look forward to seeing you again! If not we look forward to meeting you! Come on down and meet like-minded folks and make some new friends. This year’s theme is “Manifesting our Destinies”. Classes with these themes will be taught from the perspective of different Pagan traditions. The picnic brings together folks from different backgrounds to perform and participate in rituals, classes and community sharing. Vendors will be on hand (if interested in vending, CLICK HERE), offering a range of products and services. We will have a Kid’s Track for fun for the little ones. If you bring children, we ask that you stay at the picnic while your children are here. Children are required to wear wristbands with their parents cellphone numbers on the bands.
