A Beltane Celebration at Neato’s Elements
📅 April 30th – May 2nd | 11 AM – 5 PM Daily

Spring is in full bloom, and the Festival of Flames invites you to celebrate Beltane—the ancient fire festival of passion, growth, and renewal. Over three magical days, we’ll honor the season’s fiery energy through hands-on activities, creative rituals, and meaningful community connection.

✨ Join Us For:

🌿 Mini Maypoles – Create your own personal maypole to take home, weaving your intentions into every ribbon.
📜 Bay Leaf Blessing Wall – Write your wishes and pin them to our wall to be released at the festival’s close.
🎨 Beltane Craft Bar & Vendors – Explore seasonal crafts, magical tools, and unique creations.

🔥 Daily Highlights 🔥
🕯️ April 30 – Flamekeeper’s Day

Beltane marks the return of light and life! Begin the festival by crafting your own lanterns of intention—one to take home and one to remain at Neato’s, glowing throughout the celebration. Together, they create a radiant display of community energy, creativity, and transformation.
(Battery-powered tealights provided—no open flame!)

🌿 May 1 – Green Man’s Day

Step into the wild and connect with the spirit of nature. The Green Man symbolizes fertility, renewal, and the untamed energy of the Earth. Craft your own Green Man mask and explore the playful, powerful, and primal aspects of yourself. Let your creation reflect the spirit that’s ready to grow and thrive within you.

🔥 May 2 – Leap of Light

Traditionally, Beltane bonfires were leapt over to invite blessings, luck, and passion into the coming season. While open flames are off-limits, we’ve found a magical loophole!

Take part in a symbolic flame leap using a sacred candle, setting your intentions and stepping into the next chapter of your journey. We’ll close the festival by burning the Bay Leaf Blessing Wall, sending our collective wishes and dreams into the universe.

✨ FREE TO ATTEND – Drop in anytime!
Come for one day or experience all three—each visit offers something uniquely magical.
