Our grassroots mission is to take adults and children alike to a land beyond... Once you step through our gates, you will enter into a Land of Inspiration, where all forms of creativity, music, and dance are celebrated and shared. A land that includes us all. There are a billion ways to be creative. Most of us forget this the older we get. We are here to remind you that we all have that Creative Spark. Come and find it! Or come and rediscover it! And then, share it! Let's keep The Creative Spark lit!

Our event will highlight artisans, authors, illustrators, performers (of music, storytelling, puppetry), live art, large art displays, & more. It is an experience for all ages to be mesmerized and immersed in a land of imagination and inspiration.

"What an amazing event filled with incredible vendors, wonderful performances, and abounding in creative energy! My family can't wait to return." (Brian W. Parker 2015)

Following three fun, exciting, successful years in 2015, 2016, and 2017, our festivities for 2018 will continue to include opportunities for participants to be captivated by many unique areas of creativity meant to inspire and encourage! Artisan booths will offer unique ink stamps for attendees to collect in their Passports as they wind their way through the Goblin Market. Make sure to journey through the Steampunk Museum. Visit the Community Booths where local organizations like Grrrlz Rock will be waiting to showcase what they offer in our community throughout the year.

"I had a blast at the Second Star Festival! A shout out to Matt and Kesha Hawk, founders and instigators of one of the finest events I have been privileged to attend. What makes this event so cool? No labels, no pigeon holes, no way to do it right or wrong, just artists creating magic in a wide inclusive open environment." Mac (2016)

Be sure to make your intentional walk through the beautiful labyrinth to the center Wish Tree and hang your wish! Grab some food and drinks (both non-alcoholic and alcoholic from our Cider, Wine, & Beer Garden sponsored by WildCraft Cider Works), coffee, and tea from one of the many food trucks while you catch one of the music or dance acts on the WildCraft Main Stage or Loki's Labyrinth Stage. Stay tuned to our website to see a full list of all music and dance performances for 2018!

"Fabulous Festival! Beautifully crafted wares, entertaining and edgy music AND gorgeous steampunk items, weapons, and inventions! So much warmth and laughter throughout the weekend. Thank you Matt & Kesha." Sam (2016)

Take a step through the gates of the Lost Boy/Girl Enchanted Glen (Family/Kids' Area), where you will find mermaids, pirates, face painting, demonstrations, nature walks, gaming area, & more! Victorian Martial Arts Tent you say? Sure! Watch or join in the fun!

Please join us for a fun-filled, inspiring, weekend of creative wonder! Don't be afraid to dress up (in fact, we most definitely encourage it)!

"Oh, so much fun! I didn't want to come back to the "real" world! Thank you guys for creating so much fun and wonderment!" Amanda (2016)

Buying tickets ahead of time at a discounted price is encouraged! You will definitely want to plan the whole weekend, as there is so much to see, do, and be inspired by that is would be impossible to absorb it all in one day!

Our goal is not only to bring community together once a year in the Summer at the festival but to give back to the Eugene/Springfield communities throughout the year as well; in the forms of classes, workshops, concerts, & more. We will be a part in Keeping the Arts Alive and redefining the depths of what that means!

"Was a skyship ride like none other. Still floating from all the love, laughter, creativity and joyous friends, both old and new." Teri
