Our Mission Statement:
|
The Maryland Faerie Festival celebrates the Faeries. We provide an atmosphere and
entertainment inspired by Faerie folklore and literature, and, of course, by the Faeries
themselves. Yes, we believe in Faeries! Through the Faerie heritage, we encourage love,
cooperation, peace, harmony, and respect for all beings, along with a pinch of mischief! The
Maryland Faerie Festival provides educational and outreach opportunities for groups
promoting diligent stewardship of Nature, and sponsors artists, merchants and entertainers
inspired by the Faerie tradition.

We are pleased to be able to offer on-site accommodations for qualifying performers. We will have a limited number of cabin spaces and tenting spaces available.
There are a limited # of cabin spaces available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights for sleeping only, cabins will be off limits to the public. The cabins are dorm style and mixed gender.
Lodging fees, requirements, trailer requirements, and related information will be gathered from you only after

Important:
|
The performer application is separated into two steps. The first step is to create an account if you don't already have one. If you do,
you will be asked to sign-in using your email and password. After you are signed-in, you will automatically
be taken to the performer application. We are doing this so that you can more easily apply year to year, and so
that we can keep in touch with you along the way by sending you important updates via email.
