It was started by the council of the South Winds in 1986. The group of Pagans gathered together to discuss about their disparities and to teach about their varied paths, traditions, cultures and practices. A Special Memorial Day service is also held to honor those in service who have fought to attain freedom for the United States.
It is held on Memorial Day weekend in May month near the Kansas City area, in McLouth, Kansas in the United States. It is a five day festival that features speakers, workshops, merchants, music, food and dancing.
