PENUMBRA: Festival of Shadow and Light

Poetry In Motion Productions presents PENUMBRA: Festival of Shadow and Light at the St. Johns County Fairground on Saturday, May 25, 2024 from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.

This festival celebrates a diverse array of performing arts, featuring musicians, authors, actors, dancers, and more. During the day, guests explore a world of fantasy and whimsy, with music, dance, aerial acrobatics, and various food and beverages. Guests are encouraged to come dressed in their best costume and become part of the festivities!

As the sun sets, the festival guests can expect a darker, more mysterious atmosphere. The shadows play as the festival takes on an eerie tone, with fire, smoke, and peculiar celebrations. PENUMBRA welcomes those who revel in the strange, fantastic, and gothic, offering a space to embrace their true selves where light and shadow meet.

The event is family-friendly from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with a focus on entertainment and activities geared towards younger children.
