Connecticut Pagan Pride is a one day event that encourages the Pagan community to educate the general public. Dispelling the myths they may have about who and what are Pagans.
Each year we pick a theme for our event. Previous years have been:
2010 — “Building Our Community”
2011 — “Tending Our Community”
This year’s theme is “Magic In Our Community”.
With that in mind we work hard at gathering local teachers and leaders from our community to provide workshops geared to introduce and expand participants knowledge of all aspects of Paganism.
We support our Pagan businesses, educators and groups by including them in our event. As a part of the greater Connecticut community, we also collect donations for local food banks, animal shelters and religious items for soldiers deployed overseas.
Our event takes place during the first harvest season which lasts from August 1st until the Autumnal Equinox. This is the season when many celebrate the first harvests of grain from their growing season. Traditionally you will see this expressed in loaves of bread and baked goods.
This year Pagan Pride Day is on September 8th from 10 am to 6 pm at the VFW Hall (152 Massirio Dr.) in Berlin, CT. Our group ritual is at 1 pm. Join us for a great day of education, food, fun, crafts and great Pagan merchants!

I am excited to connect with Connecticut Pagans. I am from mass originally, so I really hope to make some friends here! Beltane is my favorite celebration!
