Faerieworlds

Faerieworlds is an annual music and arts festival currently held annually in Oregon. The festival's primary theme is the "realm of the faerie". As of 2015, the festival moved to Hornings Hideout near Portland after many recent festivals have been held at Mount Pisgah in the Howard Buford Park Recreation Area southeast of Eugene, Oregon. The 2016 festival was held the weekend of September 2–4 at Horning's Hideout.

The festival features artists and authors, musicians and crafters whose work is connected to or inspired by folklore, specifically faerie lore. Faerieworlds was started by Emilio and Kelly Miller-Lopez of the musical group Woodland (band), and Robert Gould of the transmedia arts company Imaginosis.

Faerieworlds Festivals have now taken place in Sedona and Prescott, Arizona, Santa Fe, New Mexico, Los Angeles, California, North Plains, Oregon, and from 2005 to 2008 at Secret House Winery in Veneta, Oregon. Faerieworlds 2009 was moved to Mount Pisgah to accommodate a larger number of daily attendees and to allow onsite camping to thousands of guests, and it has been held there in 2010-2014. In 2014, the Lane County Board of Commissioners voted to not allow Faerieworlds and another event, to use the Buford Park location for their 2015 event. The ressult of this was a return of the festival to Hornings Hideout, an outdoor festival venue just West of Portland Oregon.

The festival main stage has included such acts as Donovan, Wardruna, Faun, Rasputina, Woodland, Johnny Cunningham, Susan McKeown, John Renbourn, Karan Casey, Gaia Consort, Treguenda, Frenchy and the Punk (formerly The Gypsy Nomads), Sharon Knight, S. J. Tucker and Heather Alexander, as well as their band Tricky Pixie, and Qntal. Artists and authors featured at Faerieworlds have included Lindsey Stirling, Brian Froud, Tony DiTerlizzi, Michael Hague, Wendy Froud, Jen Delyth, Terri Windling, Charles Vess, Charles De Lint and Amy Brown.
