about us
Central New York's local observance of Pagan Pride Day.
Our festival has many interlinking goals and purposes. We try to keep our purpose balanced through the inspirations of the elements:
Air : Education
We are not going to be able to practice our spiritual paths openly if we do not give the public accurate information about what we practice.
Fire : Activism
We have to have the courage to act on our convictions and do what we need to do.
Water : Charity
What we do returns to us. We need to demonstrate this by offering compassion to our communities where it is needed.
Earth : Community
We need to weave networking webs in our cities, towns and rural areas of support for one another.
CNY Pagan pride is a proud supporter of:
Working to eliminate hunger through nutritious food distribution, education and advocacy in cooperation with the community.
