Historical Committee – 40th Anniversary Activity
This winter, embrace your creativity and help celebrate Dragonfest’s 40th Anniversary by contributing to a special community project.
Get a semi-flat rock about the size of a small dinner plate and create a work of art that reflects the magic of our 40 years. Be sure to seal your rock with a thick clear coat for preservation, and bring it up to the retreat. Together, we’ll hold an informal ceremony to place these stones in the labyrinth, creating a lasting tribute to our incredible journey.
Save the Date postcards: Snail Mail or Electronic
If you have been getting your postcard in the mail but would prefer to receive it electronically, please fill out this quick form. If you have any issue with the form, please email communications@dragonfest.org.
Dragonfest Coffee Meet and Greets
Have you always wanted to attend Dragonfest but don’t know anyone and have questions? Do you know someone who might be interested, but just needs more information?
Good News! We are hosting Coffee Meet and Greets in various parts of Colorado throughout the year to meet people in person and answer their questions.
Come meet with folks who have attended Dragonfest before and who can give you insight into what the community is like and answer any questions you (or your friends) may have.

Dragonfest’s 40th Retreat
Can you believe 2025 will be the 40th Dragonfest retreat? We are working on some great ideas already, and we are looking for more contributions from our community. We have many ways to get involved in creating an amazing celebration. If you’d like to be involved, fill out this form.
Workshops and Rituals
Like the rest of our annual retreat, the workshops and rituals at Dragonfest are 100% volunteer created and run. If you have an idea for a workshop or ritual you’d like to provide, we are now taking submissions for the 2025 retreat. You can fill out the form here. If you would like to present one of the annual rituals (e.g. the Mysteries or the Main Ritual) or you have questions about workshops and rituals, please reach out to Vanth directly at Vanth@dragonfest.org.
Keeping in Touch
Dragonfest has multiple ways to keep you informed on what’s happening with the current year’s retreat and our organization. Here are all the ways you can keep in touch with us:
Email newsletter – if you’re reading this in your email inbox, congratulations! You are already subscribed to our newsletter. It’s delivered monthly, directly to you. If you know someone who would like to be added to the newsletter, have them send an email to communications@dragonfest.org.
Website – each month after the newsletter is sent out in inboxes, we will also post it to the Dragonfest website, under the “News” tab.
Facebook – Dragonfest has a Facebook page and group FB Messenger chat. The group is a great place to find our announcements, ask questions and talk about Dragonfest!|
Instagram – Dragonfest has an Instagram page. We mostly use this to advertise Dragonfest, but we do announce big news there as well, such as registration opening, important deadlines and showcasing our merchants.
Discord – our Discord channel is a great option if you like the group aspect of the Facebook group, but don’t have or don’t want to use Facebook. (Or maybe you just want both!) A variety of topics are announced and discussed there.
Is there a method of contact we aren’t using that you’d like to recommend? Great! Reach out to Communications with your recommendation.
