“After a long winter, our May Faire offers the opportunity for the entire community to come together and celebrate the beauty and richness of the spring season.” said Kevin Hughes, Dean of School. “Our students have been excitedly rehearsing their dances, and the May Pole stands tall in the center of campus, bedecked with fresh flowers and ribbons. With engaging activities for the whole family, we look forward to welcoming everyone to our school to share in festivities of the day.”

Waldorf Education celebrates the rhythm of the year through festivals honoring the season and the natural world. Through our festival life at Kimberton Waldorf School, we build and strengthen the community, establish a yearly rhythm for the children, and nourish ourselves by sharing stories, songs, and activities linked to the seasons. The May Faire is one of our largest festivals of the year, as many friends, neighbors, alumni, and newcomers join our school to celebrate the arrival of spring.
