THE Beltane Apr 28-May 2, 2027 • Darlington, MD
Is THE Beltane for you? If you're into some or all of the following, you may have just found an amazing event that's perfect for you:
- big poles festooned with ribbons
- naked people frolicking around them
- drumming and dancing and sexing (if you like) around a bonfire
- intimate conversations with interesting people
- classes about sex, intimacy, kink, etc
- rituals and woo, both serious and light-hearted
- a 10,000 sq ft sex-positive dungeon with excellent equipment
And we do it all on a beautiful, clothing-optional campground with cabins that have hot water and electricity in a magical spot where eagles soar overhead and the sounds of lovemaking echo across the land.
We believe the best events are smaller and more intimate. Our small class sizes help everyone learn better and have a more customized experience. The pace of our event is chill and relaxing and lends itself to more community building. You will have lots of time to make new friends and deepen old relationships.
