As autumn settles over the forest and the nights grow longer, the Everywhen village gathers one more time before winter. Creatures Come Out at Night celebrates the changing season through art, costume, music, storytelling, workshops, creative participation, and time together beneath the redwoods.
At the center of the weekend are Phantasia, an immersive art realm hidden within the redwood grove; the Creatures Parade, a joyful procession of costumes, lanterns, live music, puppets, and invented beings; and the Saturday night Soirée, when the village gathers around the table before a magical evening unfolds. The Soirée dinner is included with admission.
Come in costume or come as you are. Bring a creation, a story, a skill, or simply your presence.
The village has room for you.
