Samhain 2024

Thursday, Oct 31 - Sunday, Nov 3, 2024 

Fifth Annual Queer Samhain/Halloween Celebration at Shimmerback Ranch! As the veil thins and darkness deepens, we invite you to step away from the city lights and return to the darkness of what has been forgotten. This Samhain, we will pick up the pieces of our lost magical queer culture and build from it a warm, welcoming place to call our lost spirits back home. Through ritual and connection, we will unite with our past, explore what lies within us, and build together a more beautiful future.
