Thank you Whidbey Ren Faire for an incredible weekend! So much thoughtfulness, care, and hard work go into this fantastical event, and we are so impressed by this organization. What an absolute gift to our Island, local small businesses, and our community.

Rose of Mysthaven mead was the top seller and absolute hit!! It will continue to be available for sale at the Tasting Room with 10% of proceeds donated to Whidbey Island Renaissance Faire to support their endeavor to find a permanent location for Mysthaven.

The MAP OF MYSTHAVEN IS HERE! 🏰✨

Next up….Entertainment Schedule. We are so sorry for the delay, some of our core staff seem to have caught some form of plague. ☠️

In other news, this is a friendly reminder that tickets will be more expensive at the gate than they are online in advance. Purchasing in advance helps us prepare our food vendors to have enough food to feed all of our patrons, so please don’t wait until the last minute to purchase your tickets! (PS-Over 7000 tickets 🎟️ have sold at this point, mostly for Saturday.)

With undying gratitude,
the very plagued, very tired, 🫠
President of Whidbey Ren Faire

It has been 28 springs since downtown Coupeville transformed into a full-on movie set. Nearly three decades later, the film “Practical Magic” continues to cast a spell on Whidbey Island’s oldest town.

How Greece Marks Protomagia, Its Oldest Celebration of Spring 🌸

Across Greece today, doorways are hung with hand-twisted wreaths of wildflowers, marking Protomagia, the country’s oldest and most instinctive celebration of spring.

The custom, observed every 1 May, predates Christianity by centuries. Its roots run back to the Anthesteria, an ancient Athenian festival of flowers held in honour of Dionysus, god of theatre and wine, and to even older rites devoted to Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, and her daughter Persephone. Mythology holds that Persephone returns from the underworld on this day to be reunited with her mother, and her arrival on earth is what makes the world bloom. May itself, Maios in Greek, takes its name from Maia, an ancient word for nurse and mother.
