Mother’s Day can be complicated, but Godmothers Day is joyfully simple: Celebrate the women who lit your way.
Godmothers’ second annual Godmothers Day will celebrate another year (!) of magic, love, and story-sharing, and the community that makes it all possible: you—and the very special women in your lives.
Visit Godmothers in Summerland on Sunday, May 03, for all-day festivities, music, keepsake gifts—and the special events below. Bring the “godmothers” in your life—the friends, cheerleaders, mentors, goddaughters, and other women who water your magic seeds.
