The Cleveland Pagan Pride event, hosted by Crossroads Universal, is set to take place from August 18 to August 20, 2023 right here in Bedford. This 13th-annual celebration invites the pagan community and those interested in Paganism to a free weekend filled with workshops, rituals, entertainment, and more. The event aims to foster a sense of community, provide educational opportunities, and offer a platform for celebration.
Located at the Bedford Commons, the event welcomes attendees to participate in a variety of activities, including workshops, rituals, and musical performances. This year the event will feature artist, best-selling author, performer, and witch, Laura Tempest Zakroff as well as Cleveland-based emo band, This Summer.
One unique aspect of this event is the call for attendees to contribute to a food bank either with cash donations or at least two non-perishable food items per person upon entrance, reflecting the community’s commitment to social responsibility.
The event encourages participation from a diverse audience and emphasizes inclusivity. While registration isn’t required, it helps organizers estimate the number of attendees. Crossroads Universal’s website provides comprehensive information about the event, including schedules and ways to get involved as event volunteers, sponsors, or workshop hosts.
Cleveland Pagan Pride offers a family-friendly atmosphere where individuals can engage in discussions, learn about Paganism, and enjoy various festivities. The event showcases the rich diversity of pagan traditions and provides a safe space for individuals to connect, learn, and celebrate. By bringing together a vibrant community, the event aligns with Crossroads Universal’s mission of promoting positive impacts, self-discovery, and service to others.
