In 2012 we called the Children of Artemis who runs WitchFest International in Europe and asked their permission to run an event similar to theirs in the USA with the same name. They gave us permission stating that they were surprised and honored that someone would call first before using their name, with the express wish that we change the name slightly so that people do not confuse ours with theirs. Hence the name WitchsFest.

The NYC Wiccan Family Temple has since then been an Annual event ‘WitchsFest USA’ which has become ‘The WitchsFest USA Street Fair’ A Pagan Festival –at ‘the heart beat of NYC’ Astor Place (Between Broadway and Lafayette).   More space for us all!

WitchsFest USA follows in the tradition of WitchFest International and many other Pagan Festivals across the US.  With Live Performances, Workshops, Tarot Readers/Psychics, Children’s Events and just plain old pagan fun.  Held at the Summer Solstice, we invite everyone to be dressed in costumes themed for the season.
