It is held on 400 private acres of scenic rural farmland and woodlands of the Naugatuck River Valley, just down the road from Southford Falls State Park.

Camping is permitted, and encouraged so that attendees do not miss any part of the festival, which has been described by many as a true experience.
Beltaine: A Pagan Odyssey, is Connecticut’s oldest Pagan festival, and it is hosted by the Panthean Temple, which was founded in 1995. This festival is educational, spiritual and a chance to experience community at its finest. Although the event is hosted by the Panthean Temple, the festival is purely community driven; our guest speakers, volunteers and participants come from many local temples, organizations, and covens throughout Connecticut, the Northeast and beyond! We bring together people from many varying traditions within the Wiccan, Pagan, and Earth-Based spiritual communities. The community at large makes this huge festival possible for our small temple and your participation is welcomed.
Beltaine is a celebration the arrival of the summer months, also known as May Day. We celebrate with a bonfire, all night drumming, ceremonies and a Maypole dance. There will also be children’s activities, hay rides, fire spinning, vendors, readers and healers. Our special guest speaker for 2010 will be Z Budapest. There will be over 70 well-known teachers, leaders and elders in attendance for lectures, hands on workshops and classes. Concerts with a wide variety of music are also planned for 2010.
Registration is now open! http://www.PaganOdyssey.com We are also on: http://www.facebook.com/PaganOdyssey http://www.myspace.com/PaganOdyssey (to be updated shortly)
