2023: Enter to win 2 Day Passes to Niagara Celtic. 10 Winners!
About Our Wishing Tree
Our Wishing Tree is a community art project made by festival visitors. Its origins come from old traditions in Celtic nations; variations include Fairy Trees, May Trees, Votive Trees, and more.
Wishes are added to the tree as offerings to deities or wee folk, in hopes the wishers will receive help/ guidance towards the wish or prayer. Public wishes are written on paper, and private wishes (called clouties or clooties) are string or ribbons tied to the tree. At the end of our festival, all wishes are ceremoniously sent to the heavens, with help from the Fire Keepers, where we hope many receive help in coming true!
The Contest has ended. Thanks to everyone who participated; winners will be announced in the coming days.
