14th annual Green Man Festival

From 14th annual Green Man Festival Website:

Join us, rain or shine, for two days of music, vendors, crafts, environmental awareness, food, and fun in beautiful downtown!

Our Sun
Eons ago a rough stone spun and danced around a star, each holding onto the other at just the right distance to cool and warm in cycles that would eventually create life in shallow pools. And so our Sun gave birth to the Earth. Before man, plants turned and reached out to its light. Then came the cold blooded creatures that laid themselves out on stones to awaken their hearts. The earliest primates sought it each day and feared it's absence. Early man celebrated the Sun as a benefactor, the spiritual connection for all life.

This year our festival asks those who gather to reconnect with the ancient reverence for our star, it's light the source of creation. We hope to re-enliven the spirituality beginnings of the human age. Take the time to close your eyes, turn your face to the sun, and warm your heart, it's power freely given.

Festival activities will reconnect us to the folklore of ancient civilizations through science, art, music and myth by featuring many local artists, musicians and performers from Maryland as well as other parts of the country.
