October 25, 2014 ~ Noon - 8pm
The Boerne Convention and Visitor's Bureau, Boerne Parks and Recreation, and the Last Chance Forever Bird-of-Prey Conservancy will partner together for the 8th-annual Harvest Moon Festival, a one-of-a-kind Halloween experience for festival goers of all ages!
Boerne's Harvest Moon Festival is a jubilant, old-world day of fun and celebration with a different twist on the origin of Halloween or "Samhain." Over 2,000 years ago in the region now known as Ireland, the Celts celebrated "Samhain," or the "End Of Summer and Harvest," by uniting together with food and drink, building bonfires, playing music, donning costumes, and predicting each others fortunes, as prophecies were an important source of comfort and direction for the long, dark winter ahead.
Get your spooky (costumes) on and come check out local vendors and enjoy the sounds of the Dulcimer Group Hill Country River Pickers! Get an up-close look a majestic Hawks, Falcons, Vultures, and other Raptors during two presentations by a Master Falconer John Karger and team from the Last Chance Forever Bird of Prey Conservancy. There will be live Celtic music by Ravenmoor, The Great Giani, and the strolling mentalist will be performing up-close mind reading, magic, and paranormal entertainment.
Get a reading from our psychic or a beautiful temporary tattoo from Hanna Artist, Zeena. Trunk or Treat will be available for the kids, as well as a kids' costume contest! After dark, enjoy an intriguing look into the world of Owls on the torch-lit "Trail of the Mysterious Night Flyers." Live owls will be featured in the natural environment complete with tour guide to present these fantastic creatures. Click here for Schedule of Events!
Boerne is approximately a 1.5-hour drive from Kingsland. Click here for directions!
