Create your very own Fairy Garden (Both Days)

Calling all kids and the young at heart! Come create your very own Fairy Garden to welcome these tiny spirits back from their long winter slumber. All materials will be provided to make a small terra-scape, or garden. Through caring for this small garden we connect to the natural world and learn about the magic of how Mother Earth works. Families with young children are encouraged to work together to create a unique Fairy Garden to take home and lovingly tend to. They also make a great Mother's Day gift! No charge but donations are greatly appreciated and ensure that this very popular activity continues to return to the festival year after year.

Face Painting, Body Art, and More (Both Days)

Award-winning Australian artist, Christalene Karaiskakis and her crew at Crystalooneys Creative Arts (crystalooneys.com) will be at the Greenbelt Greenman Festival both days. Stop by and say G'day Mate, and we can help you become who you want to be. Transform yourself into an earth fairy, a superhero, or get an amazing eye design, mask... your wish is our pleasure! We offer henna art, glitter tattoos/charms, hair wraps and matching bracelets, body painting, prenatal art for expectant mothers, and more!

Dance around the Maypole (Both Days)

Adults and children of all ages are welcome to come learn and join in with our annual Maypole Dance. Everyone will learn a little bit about this traditional event, learn this super fun and simple dance, and then the dancing and weaving will begin!

We of course will start of nice and slow, and then speed up the dance a bit to make it a bit more challenging. Come join us and help us create a work of art! A fun event for all ages!

Join our Opening Drum Circle (Saturday Morning)

The Greenbelt Drum Circle is an organic meeting of locally grown percussionists that occasionally assemble to Shake, Rattle and Roll, usually in public. They can be found at the opening of Green Man Festival drumming in the Spring and invoking the spirit of the Green Man. Bring your drum, bell, shaker, or other percussion instrument and join the circle on Saturday morning. The drumming officially begins at 10 am but the true enthusiast usually show up much earlier. If you don't drum, come to dance and just enjoy the rhythms.
