This year marks our 11 year aniversary for the Western Ma Pagan Pride Day. Come out to share the memories of events gone by, and to enjoy creating a community for the future.

Western MA Pagan Pride day is one of many Pagan Pride Day events that take place worldwide. As a nonprofit organization we strive to establish awareness of earth-centered belief systems in our local communities. People of all faiths and walks of life are invited to join us on September 18th, 2010. We are very excited to announce a location change. We will be holding this year's local Pagan Pride Day at Nonotuck Park in Easthampton, Ma in pavillion #3.

There is no admission fee to the event. Parking in the park is $3. Free parking is available at Easthampton High School. You can come expecting to experience open ritual, musical entertainment, workshops (classes) and many vendors for a fun, family friendly community driven event. There will be some food for purchase on site.

Performers this year include:

Jeff Martell:   Born some thousand years ago, Jeff has spent the intervening centuries perfecting the lost arts of acoustic music.  Performing in a variety of venues throughout the east, Jeff has demonstrated time and time again the amazing breadth and scope of his musical abilities.  He is at home with Bluegrass flat picking, blues, reggae , and rock and roll as well as traditional and modern folk.
   Jeff weaves a spell around his audience with driving guitar, blistering harmonica and a voice that can only be described as heart stopping.
   In this age of cookie cutter clones and MTV culture, it is truly refreshing to hear an original voice.  Jeff also writes great songs and is not afraid to pick on a few sacred cows. www.jeffmartell.net
