We warmly invite you to gather with us for one of Bright Water’s most beloved seasonal festivals—May Faire! This joyful celebration of springtime is a beautiful expression of renewal, community, and the blossoming spirit of the season. With flower crowns, dancing, music, food, and merriment, May Faire is a chance to come together in gratitude for the Earth’s abundance and the return of light and warmth.

Students spend weeks learning dances with their music and movement teachers which they will perform around a flower-topped ribboned Maypole. They come early to decorate the May crowns they will wear, weaving fresh flowers into an ivy or raffia ring. Games, like a Fish Pond with prizes and a decorative Bean Bag Toss, keep the littles entertained. Lady Spring and King Winter may preside over the proceedings, or we may witness a battle between the Winter Witches and the Lads of the Flower. The mood is light and social as folks picnic together and rekindle friendships perhaps sidelined in the busy working year. Dancing and singing together, we re-establish our common bonds and build our community.

This event is made special by the participation of our whole community—and we would love for you to be a part of it! Whether you can lend a hand with preparations, contribute to the Bake Sale, or simply arrive in festive spirit ready to celebrate, your presence is a vital thread in the fabric of this celebration.
