CANDELAFEST!
The First-ish Annual Pagan Chicken Party & Summer Fundraiser
Our (reintroduced) annual summer party to support photographic artists
As Candela Photographic Arts celebrates our first summer as a 501c3, we’re expanding the spirit of our annual UnBound! fundraising party to CANDELAFEST!. Partygoers will experience the celebration they know and love with a fresh aim to garner financial support for Candela programming and operations for the coming year.
Join us on August 1, 2026 from 6-10pm for The First-ish Annual Pagan Chicken Party & Summer Fundraiser as we prepare for another year of photographic possibilities. The evening welcomes the return of the beloved back alley fried chicken, live performers, raffle prizes, mildly mischievous activities, interactive pagan goddesses, and other ritual absurdities.
