Wic-Can Fest

Midsummer fest & Harvest Fest Annual gatherings. Bringing the Pagan community together to learn and grow Wic-Can Fest is hosted at Summer Solstice time.

Wic-can Fest is Canada's oldest and longest-running pagan festival since 1982. We are open to anyone who identifies with Wicca, Paganism, Druidism, Norse spirituality, Shamanism, Ceremonial Magic, Native American Spirituality, etc. Our events are ideal for connecting, sharing, learning, and networking with members and elders in good standing of various Pagan, Traditional, and Magical paths. Worksh

ops and activities are seasonally themed. At Harvest Fest, many of our festivities center around The Corn King, a huge man of straw and leaves and branches. Filled with our well wishes and thanks which we set ablaze during the festival’s main ritual. Harvest Fest is our time for giving thanks. A time of feast and fire. A time to honor the ancestors and our beloved Corn King one last time as the wheel turns once more. Both festivals boast an array of workshops, lectures, activities, music, rituals, and more! With things to do for all ages, we welcome you into our community! Come fill your bodies and souls with warmth, dance, music, and knowledge. Dance and drum your prayers and blessings towards the Old Ones. Create warm memories, and witness Nature in all Her glory. Registration price includes all activities, concerts, and lectures. Hearty home-cooked meals are available on-site for an additional fee. For more information, please visit us at wiccanfest.com !

At Midsummer Fest, we ask all who enter the gates to help us create a space rooted in kindness, respect, consent, and community care. Beneath the trees, around the fires, and within the circle, we gather as one community — learning, celebrating, laughing, and looking after one another along the way. 🌿🔥

As part of registration, all attendees agree to abide by our Code of Conduct and Sexual Harassment Policy so that together we can help nurture a gathering where people feel welcome, safe, and free to be themselves. ✨

m✨ The Bardic Circle is calling… and now might be the perfect time to start plotting your masterpiece. ✨

Whether it’s a song, a poem, a tale, a bit of music, a dramatic reading, or something delightfully strange and difficult to explain afterward, on Friday night the Bardic Competition is your chance to step into the firelight and share your gifts with the village. 🌿🔥

You could simply improvise when inspiration strikes… but there’s no harm in preparing now for the performance of your lifetime. (Or at least a very memorable three minutes beneath the stars.)

And let us be honest: if too few brave souls answer the call, the board members may be forced to entertain the crowd themselves. While some might call this hilarious, others see it as “an avoidable outcome.” 💫

So dust off your instruments, polish your stories, rehearse your dramatic pauses, and prepare to charm the village beneath the midsumm

✨ The soundtrack of Midsummer is nearly ready… ✨

This year’s festival evenings will carry us from soulful melodies to soaring vocals, immersive soundscapes, and lively folk music beneath the stars. 🌿🔥

🎶 Thursday Night – Nelson Dennis
Bringing smooth, soulful musicianship and rich guitar-driven sounds to open the festival weekend.

🎶 Friday Night – Aurorah Live in Concert
A classically trained pianist, vocalist, percussionist, and composer weaving together powerful vocals, layered percussion, synthesizers, and electronic sound into immersive musical storytelling.

🎶 Saturday Night – Witches & Wizards Ball
Featuring Aphrodite Unbound followed by Chris Devlin performing high-energy Celtic-inspired folk songs from Ireland, Scotland, and Canada’s East Coast.

And throughout the daytime market, wandering musicians are warmly invited to share acoustic music with the village. Bring a song, an instrument, or simply your love of music beneath the midsummer sky. ✨

✨ History remembers the flames… but what truly lit the fire? ✨

Join us for a thoughtful and illuminating exploration of the European witch hysteria often referred to by some pagan authors as The Burning Times. Together we’ll examine what actually happened, why it happened, and how fear, religion, politics, and superstition combined to create one of history’s great tragedies. 🌿

From pre-Christian beliefs about witchcraft to the myth of the Witches’ Sabbath, from heresy and the Inquisition to the anatomy of a witch trial and the events of Salem, this discussion invites participants to look beyond popular myth and into the complex realities of the past.

Part history lesson, part reflection on how stories evolve through time, this workshop offers an opportunity to deepen our understanding of both history and the modern pagan narratives shaped around it.

✨ In just one week, the gates to Midsummer Fest will open once more. ✨

Soon the drums will echo through the trees, the fires will glow beneath the stars, and our festival village will come alive with music, laughter, learning, and community. 🌿🔥

If you’re planning to join us, now’s the perfect time to reserve your spot! Reserving early helps us prepare the village and plan the community feasts — and it also saves you 10% compared to onsite pricing. 💫

You can still pay when you arrive; we simply ask that you let us know you’re coming so we can prepare another place in the circle. 🌞

We cannot wait to gather with all of you beside the water, beneath the trees, and around the fire once again.

✨ Some paths are walked quietly through the forest, passed from teacher to seeker, coven to coven, generation to generation. ✨

This discussion explores forms of practice that have helped shape the foundations of the modern pagan movement, yet are often kept private, discreet, or difficult to find without guidance. 🌿

Join practicing witches and initiates as they share what they love about their Craft and speak openly about topics such as initiation, tradition, lineage, and the seeking process. Whether you are simply curious, actively seeking, or already walking your own path, this is an opportunity to listen, learn, and ask questions in a welcoming space.

Come sit at the edge of the firelight and hear the stories carried quietly through the Craft. ✨

✨ The training grounds are open, young adventurers! ✨

Join us for a playful and energetic Boffer Workshop, where children (and the young at heart) can step into a world of friendly swordplay, laughter, and imagination. ⚔️🌿

Using safe foam weapons, participants will learn the basics of movement, mock dueling, and simple swordsmanship games in a welcoming and lighthearted environment. Whether you dream of being a knight, wandering hero, forest guardian, or fearless faerie warrior, this is a chance to run, play, and practice your skills beneath the midsummer sky.

While the workshop is especially geared toward children, all ages are welcome to join the fun and embrace their inner adventurer.

Come swing swords, share laughter, and let the games begin! ✨

✨ Somewhere between the forest paths, the firelight, and the sound of distant drums… a village begins to awaken. ✨

Midsummer Fest is more than a festival — it’s a gathering of community, nature, music, ritual, creativity, laughter, and shared experience beneath open skies. 🌿🔥

Join us for workshops, drum circles, storytelling, dancing, crafting, rituals, quiet moments by the water, and joyful moments around the fire. Come reconnect with the land, meet kindred spirits, and step for a little while beyond the noise of the mundane world. 🌙💫

Whether you arrive as a seasoned practitioner, a curious wanderer, or simply someone seeking good company beneath the trees, there is a place for you in the circle.
