The Red Dragon Feast is an annual magical feast and fundraiser for healing blood-borne disease. Donations benefit community building and a local charity committed to healing blood borne disease. This year's charitable donation will go to Food and Friends. Along with nutrition counseling, Food & Friends prepares, packages and delivers meals and groceries to more than 1,400 people living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-challenging illnesses throughout Washington, DC, 7 counties of Maryland and 7 counties and 6 independent cities in Virginia. Since 1988, Food & Friends has provided food and companionship to our clients, their loved ones and caregivers.
Our local practice of the Red Dragon Feast is to…
gather near Valentines Day wearing red outfits
drum and dance with the Red Dragon
feast on red foods
offer raucus toasts of red drink
honor those who have died of blood borne disease
call for strength for healers
call for insight for researchers
call for comfort and healing for all who suffer
Our intention is to venerate the Red Dragon to battle against blood-borne disease.
All Hail the Red Dragon!
All Hail the Life Giving Blood!
Please, do NOT bring food. Please, DO bring red items for auction.
Please do bring cash or cards for donations.
Please wear your dancing shoes.
Please, wear RED!
With blessings and Love,
Fritter
Every year, this event is one of the most fun, and most magical, Pagan events in DC. Put on something red and go!
