You can see the Schedule of Events here

Volunteers Needed

We need volunteers for various things throughout the day – setup, clean-up, the Potluck Lunch, helping with the various events – there is plenty to do. If you are interested in pitching in, use our contact form to let us know!

Check-in when you arrive

Stop by the Welcome Tent near the entrance – there you can find the Treasure Table and a name badge station with colorful badges.

Potluck in the Picnic Area

Thank you to the Maine Pagan Alliance for renting the covered shelter in the picnic area (to the right when you pull in) for our potluck this year! There will be a donation basket in the picnic area if you would like to help defer the cost of this rental.

Welcome the Dancing Witches!

The Dancing Witches of Merkaba Sol are excited to join in the celebration at Beltane on the Beach. They will be teaching the viral dance for “Schüttel Deinen Speck (Shake Your Bacon)”. The Dancing Witches of Merkaba Sol is based in Augusta, Maine and can be seen in and around Maine and Salem, Massachusetts.

Remember Your Beach Gear

Don’t forget to bring everything you will need for a day of fun at the beach. Sun screen, blankets and Frisbee’s are good. Want to build a sand-castle? The beach is great for that! Bring your buckets and shovels and any other fun beach activities. And remember to bring your drum and join in the drumming!

As far as clothing is concerned, remember it can sometimes be windy and a bit cold on the beach, so layers are key.

Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints…

Please remember that we are guests on the beach, and we take that responsibility seriously! Please bring a trash bag (shop-n-save bag, or any old plastic or paper bag will do) and make sure you do not leave any trash or debris behind. There are trash-cans near the bathrooms and in the parking lot. Also remember that it is illegal to remove anything from the beach, so the driftwood and seashells will have to stay behind – sorry.

Do you or your group want to do more?

If you or your organization are interested in volunteering at Beltane on the Beach, we are always happy to accept help. 🙂 We will need volunteers to set up and manage the pot-luck lunch, to help set up and run the Maypoles, and to help clean up and comb the beach when we are all done. If you would like to pitch-in, just click here to go to our contact page, and tell us more about how you would like to help. Thanks!

Clean-Up Volunteers Needed!

As always, we will try very hard this year to “take only pictures, and leave only footprints”. With several hundred people converging on Crescent Beach, there will be a lot of leftover “stuff” that will need to be cleaned up. Most importantly we ask everyone to police their own area, and make sure you collect any trash or other debris left over from mealtime etc.

We are also asking for volunteers who will agree to stay until at least the end (around 5:00pm) to help ensure that nothing has been left behind. We want to make sure that we will be welcomed back next year!
