🌙 Bloom & Moon Festival (May 23, always on the full moon)
“Each spring, when the May moon rises in her fullest glory, Havenwood gathers to honor the night our ancestors won their freedom. It was beneath such a moon that Saoirse, Drakon, and their allies sealed the portal and cast off the chains of tyranny. The Bloom & Moon Festival is our vow never to forget. We kindle fires, weave lanterns, and sing spells of thanks beneath the silver glow. It is both remembrance and renewal—the celebration of freedom’s bloom.”
🌱 Founders’ Picnic (mid-June, near the full moon)
“Just weeks later, when the earth has warmed and the fields are green, we mark another beginning. This is the day our forebears crossed the harbor, raised hearths on the cliffs, and planted the first seeds of Havenwood. The Founders’ Picnic is not solemn, but joyful: a day for children and grown folk alike, filled with laughter and a great feast to celebrate the roots we’ve sunk into this blessed place. At dusk, lanterns are lit and released into the sky above the harbor. If Bloom & Moon is freedom’s song, then the Founders’ Picnic is Havenwood’s birth-day.”
