"It was an honor to be included in Faerieworlds this year. My family and I had so much fun (five year old Bella didn't want to go home and I sort of didn't either) and we can't wait to come back next year. After a few very stressful and emotionally draining years that had me seriously considering retiring from being a Faery artist, Faerieworlds was exactly what I needed to restore my passion for my work. Watching the sheer happiness and abandon of the crowds and seeing all of the beautiful unique items being sold by the vendors was inspirational. A little light bulb went off in my head "AAhhhh...this is why I chose this life. Now I remember." This is the type of life I want my girls to grow up with. I want them to know that there are other roads we can take. Faerieworlds helps us find those roads again and again."

“Several of us from GMR attended Faerieworlds ... We met bards, storytellers, artists, musicians, healers, crafters, and tricksters by the score. Vendors and artists were the other major draw for the festival, and there were some wonderful ones. I came home with a pocket stuffed full of business cards and flyers, and I spent more money that I had intended on merchandise.“

Green Man Review
“I looked around at the thousands and thousands of people there, from little children to the grandparents, most dressed in costume, all there for an incredible time and to celebrate their love of magic, mystery, art, music and everything else that is represented by “Faerie”. They dance with abandon when the drumming starts, and most of all, they are free to just be themselves and celebrate the magic we all knew as children.”

“Faerieworlds is a spectacular festival! The sights, the sounds, the smells -- everything contributed to the magic! The sight of so many people in fabulous costumes having fun, the sight of costumed children at play, and dancing, singing, jumping around, the beautiful decorations and wondrous goods for sale at every turn made it a feast for the eyes! The constant sound of happy conversation and laughter, as well as the sounds from the many talented musicians who performed, made it a feast for the ears! The lovely fragrances of yummy appetizing food, scented oils and incenses, as well as the fragrance of trees and flowers made it a feast for the nose!”

“Attending Faerieworlds outside of Eugene, Oregon was mind blowing and mesmerizing. Excellent bands, good entertainment, great vendors, incredible artists, and yummy food. A 5 stars out of 5 event. Highly recommended.”
