Festival Henna – Schedule of Events in MA, RI, and CT

Heather loves doing henna at festivals! The buzz of the energy of so many people happy and excited to be in one place doing cool stuff can’t be beat!

Sometimes she works solo, sometimes with an assistant and/or second artist, and sometimes she sends a colleague to work in her stead because she unfortunately hasn’t figured out a way to clone herself for all the times there are conflicts in dates as event schedules get shifted around over the years.

Wondering how much it is to have some henna done at a festival?
Our individual henna designs range $20-60ish, and the most of our hand designs are in the $30-45ish range.
Arrive within the first hour that the festival is officially open for a much shorter wait time!
Contact us in advance to see if arriving before the official start time is possible – this is when there is the least line and the most chance for us to chat with you while doing your henna.

Always call/text at 617-429-6301 and check our Instagram for updates before coming to an event just to see us – sometimes things change at the last minute due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

We look forward to seeing you at a festival soon!

We will most likely have a book of festival henna designs for you to choose from, but what we REALLY love is to create something unique on the spot, just for you! Artists work best when they can let their creativity flow! Keeping this in mind, we would really really prefer for you to not bring us photos of someone else’s work and ask us to copy it 🙂 You’ll get much better work if you tell us what you’d like, verbally, and let us work within our own style. Seeing work in a style very different from our own stresses us the heck out, as we try to calculate how much we should adjust what we usually do to fit that, and then a lot of the time we COULD be spending actually doing your henna is spent fretting instead… Just trust the artist who is in front of you to do their best work for the best possible results when coming to us to satisfy your henna festival needs 🙂

If you can’t make it to our festivals, you can also always book a private party!
