Michaelmas Fall Festival
Michaelmas is celebrated in Waldorf Schools throughout the world at the turn of the fall equinox as a festival of courage. The old legends tell of Michael, the bright, strong angel who tames the dragon and inspires courage within us. Darkness, fear, apathy and depression are represented as the dragon. Michael wields his sword of light, inspiring us to face the darkness with strength of will and purpose as the darkness of winter approaches.
As an act of service, please bring a non-perishable item or monetary donation for the Wauconda Food Pantry. We collect these in place of charging admission to the festival.
