The Grace and Spark idea...

THE BACKSTORY TO THE IDEA OF A POP-UP FESTIVAL ON PAROS (or anywhere else)

Last week, my good friend Matt Coldrick mentioned to me "Wouldn't it be good if Paros had a Winter Festival?" This got us talking on this week's Artists Way session and sparks ignited. So we decided to float this idea out into the ether and see where it goes and who picks up on it...

Quite a few folks are agreed that we need to be thinking more outside the box these days so will came up with a long term vision, which we intend to launch properly in 2024. It would be entirely community based and also reflect an increasing awareness of and interest in subject matter such as health, wellbeing, quality food and local heritage, some key interests that are likely to attract visitors to the island out of season, whilst also appealing to islanders who might be bored with what's on offer in terms of winter entertainment options.

This year we are thinking of offering a ‘prototype’ around the end of November, and we see the Beacon lighting ceremony on November 24th as the spark to initiate further emergent possibilities from that date until the first weekend of December across the island.

Here's the gen:

We all invite people to do at-home style ‘pop up’ events in their home or village / town. These might be talks or how-to sessions, making, arts and crafts, music performance, wellbeing or exercise sessions, fireside meditations, peace vigils, guided walks, writing sessions, visits to places of architectural or historical interest, film nights, fireside meditations, workshops, cookery sessions, gardening and permaculture, quiz nights or anything that takes your fancy.

Think of it as inviting friends round, even if they are friends you may not have met yet...

If you’d like to offer something, please email me pete.lawrence@campfireconvention.com. If we get enough response the first (prototype) Grace and Spark Paros Winter Festival will be born this year...
