enjoy a weekend of music, singing, dancing, and workshops on a variety of topics from drumming to Wicca. There is also a daytime «Crones Chat» that Hickey said is geared towards seniors attending the festival, an informal kaffeeklatsch get-together to relax and chat between friends, new and old. Hickey was a regurla participant at the Kaleidoscope Festival and when it moved on to a larger venue, he and some friends talked about what would happen. He decided then to try and organize a new, and smaller, music festival to replace Kaleidoscope. «I really only intended to do it once,» he said, with a grin. «But i twas such a success, I just kept on doing it.» Hickey had lots of willing on-site volunteer help with this year’s Firelight Gathering Festi- val.

The Firelight Gathering replaces the Kaleidoscope Music Festival that originally took place at the site but has grown too big now for the campground and has relocated to another part of the province. Most of the people who take part in the Firelight Gathering festival are neo-pagans, people who worship or feel a spiritual connection to the natural forces of the world.
