Magic is when fantasy becomes reality, and this happens each year for three days in May on a small farm in Glen Rock, Pennsylvania.

This unique event is a joyful celebration of spring, the earth, and life in general. The festival founders, Rob & Lucy Wood, have taken their philosophy of honoring nature through respect for all things and like a seed, have planted it with love on their farm.
