Our Festival

Hexenfest is a music and arts festival for witchy creatives and visionaries and those who love them. We explore themes of the otherworldly, animistic, mythic, pagan, and fairytale. We believe we are better together, and by sharing ideas in an environment of inspiration and play, we can make the world a better place. We believe in lifting each other up! Therefore you’ll find some of the friendliest people you’ve ever met at Hexenfest. Our festival tends toward a “gothic-bohemian” aesthetic. Your spooky goth self is as welcome as your shimmery shiny rainbow self. Or your leafy lacy mushroom self, or your dreamy drippy mermaid self. Bring it!

We have featured artist from genres as diverse as folk metal and industrial goth-rock, to whimsical folk, pagan folk, ethereal fairytale folk, steampunk, and myth punk. One thing they all have in common is they create an otherworldly ambiance, which allows us to open to the inner realms of magic and dream.

Join us for a weekend, and let us see the world through the eyes of enchantment!
