Yes, there are Wiccan festivals or gatherings held throughout the year that bring together Wiccans and practitioners of related paths. These festivals provide opportunities for learning, celebration, spiritual connection, and community building. While specific festivals can vary in size, duration, and focus, they typically feature a range of activities such as workshops, rituals, music, dance, arts and crafts, vendor booths, and socializing. Here are a few examples of well-known Wiccan festivals:
PantheaCon: PantheaCon was an annual convention held in California, USA, that attracted a diverse range of pagan, Wiccan, and occult practitioners. It featured workshops, rituals, lectures, performances, and a vibrant marketplace. Note that as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, PantheaCon has been discontinued, but similar events continue to be organized by other groups.
