HAVENFEST
August 23 - 27, 2023
Havenfest is a festival in the late summer to celebrate all things Pagan. Each year we will have a theme word around which we build the festival. This year's word is:
​
EXPLORATION
​
Please feel free to bring anything you feel represents EXPLORATION in your life or to the community and we will use this to celebrate at Main Rit on Saturday night.
OUR HOME
Havenfest will take place at:
Fox Haven
192 Plante Road
Lavigne, Ontario
​
Fox Haven is a queer-owned and operated property whose strength lies in its welcoming approach to diversity and inclusivity. It hosts events catering to alternative communities and interests throughout the year in a safe and respectful environment.

HAVENFESTÂ PLANS
MAIN RITUAL
Main Rit will be held Saturday night and will celebrate our theme of "Exploration". Stay tuned for more details.
BONFIRE AND BARDIC CIRCLE
When dusk falls after the main rit we will light the bonfire. Please bring your stories, dances, instruments, or songs. All are invited to enjoy the songs and tunes brought forth from those gathered.
ARTS AND MUSIC
Like all Pagan Haven events, Havenfest encourages artistic endeavors, and these will be available throughout the weekend. Please contact us if you would like to lead one or have ideas for a learning session.
NATURE
Our 130 acres is available for trails, hiking, swimming, and getting close to nature. The forests, wetlands, and lake are teeming with wildlife and wildflowers
COMMUNAL MEALS
Meals at Pagan Haven are communal, meaning no cooking on your own. All meals are held in the Great Hall and are cooked by volunteers. If you would like to sign up as a volunteer or have ideas for meals, please contact us.
VENDORS
Havenfest welcomes vendors, especially those who provide specifically for the community. If you would like to be a vendor, please take a look at our vendor details page.
